As for "the establishment", I think there's probably at least two of those on the GOP side alone. I mean, what sort of batshit crazy divide exists when Ann Coulter spends most of her time trying to convince the rest of us that Romney is actually worth wasting time on?

Haley Barbour could be another possibility?
Honestly, there almost seems to be enough reprehension of Romney (by much of the GOP) and enough idelologues, that you have to wonder if many would rather throw the race to Obama, keep their party principles and try again in 4-years rather than have Romney be the party's leader for 4-8 years.
I've mentioned it before and was somewhat aware (from his treatment in 2008), but I don't think I fully appreciated how disliked Romney is by many within the party. I don't know if it is his religion or just his personality, but I think he could be a national drag on the party and cost them Congressional seats (because many diehards may sit it out rather than holding their nose to vote for him).
