I can understand random GOPers caving, but Romney's *rich*. He could exit public life, be a dissenter, 3rd partier etc. Blackmail I tell ya.

. Romney didn't seem *that* unprincipled. The 180 is a bit much. It's either feet of pure clay or blackmail (maybe soft kind)

The leverage is that we won and they lost, and that leaves nobody in their corner but their simpering peers.

never underestimate the power of pure unadulterated ego and self-importance.
