Hanson concludes we are reluctant to nominate Romney because we worry that:
A moderate President Romney would prove a reach-out centrist — spending borrowed money like George W. Bush did on No Child Left Behind or the Medicare drug benefit, thereby ruining for good the now-suspect Republican brand of fiscal sobriety.
Living for the past decade or more in a largely LDS community has shown me Mormons do believe in pitching in to aid the less fortunate. So the concern seems realistic.
At this point it isn't clear that we have an electable alternative to Mitt.
