Best Explanation of Why Romney Didn't Catch On

"Romney always seemed surprised, and a little hurt, by the very clear contempt the other Republican candidates had for him. He didn’t see himself as a compulsive panderer with no central core.

You weren’t flip-flopping; you were responding to the mandate of the marketplace."
