Three of Romney's four main presidential rivals [Santorum, Gingrich, Obama but not Paul (yet)] are making the case against Romney based at least partly on character. Gingrich thunders that he is boldness to Romney's trepidation. Santorum reminds Tea Partiers that Romney is a moderate in conservative's clothing for the sake of convenience. And the Obama campaign, whose chief strategist suggested that Romney would not win because presidential elections are MRIs for the soul, is only too happy to add its (always constructive) analyses whenever the news turns to the negativity of the Republican primary.
Is the fact that everyone is talking about Romney's character a sign of a real weakness in his retail politicking skills? Or is it one of those self-fulfilling prophecy things, when everyone talks about his weakness until its the only pattern we can see anymore?
