2. Are you saying the other candidates were in on a vast conspiracy to make Romney appear moderate?

Because if so, that's quite a stretch.

The main reason Freepville isn't happy with Romney is that they really do believe that he is too moderate. It's the same reason that some here don't much care for the president.

This sounds less like some orchestrated campaign and more like people being people.

Of course, Romney's handlers will try to move him to the center now, but that's business as usual. Candidates always run differently in the primaries and in the general.
