[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a Republican, so my response does not really satisfy OP's request, but here is my assessment of what a reasonable Republican might think.

There is a clear distinction between a Keynesian, stimulus-based approach to the economy and a supply-side, cut spending and taxes approach.  I personally think Obama is trying to split the difference, but I think the Republicans see him as an extreme Keynesian  So even if they don't thoroughly like or trust Romney, they see him as a much better choice.

On foreign policy, I think they are much more comfortable with swagger than nuance, and Romney has been playing to that.  Unfortunately, he may have caused real damage by overdoing it in the Libyan and Egyptian embassy attacks.  So I don't know how that will play out now.

On social issues, I think pro-lifers have real reason to support Romney, no matter what his past stands were.  In the likely replacement of a liberal Justice, he will no doubt choose one who is likely to overturn Roe v Wade, and I count that overturn as the most predictable consequence of his election.[/quote]
