"Why they Hate Mitt Romney"

Amy D. Goldstein has written a tremendous piece over at the American Thinker. She breaks it down into eight components and sums it up like this:

Why do the Republican candidates hate him? Because they don't have any answers to his challenges. They seek to undermine him by using personal attacks more worthy of a middle school playground than a presidential contest. This is politics and Washington as usual, and choosing any candidate that employs these tactics will only get us more of the same. One would hope that Americans could see beyond these base attacks and choose the candidate who is best for the country - Governor Mitt Romney.
