Actually I don't think that it does so much. Most people on the boards know I freelance entertainment reviews, but I write political commentary more than anything. So it's a pretty unbiased assessment, mixed with some political regurgitation popular among the most trusted pundits.
Romney did in fact turn off a lot of people starting in NH. Yes, he had a following, but too many people were catching wind of how he really was a flip-flopper. There was just an innate shallowness to him, that I think started to become so prevalent amongst the political community that he knew he would hurt his image, and thus career by staying in. That and statistically he had to win like 70% of the remaining primaries to get the delegates... I digress.
