I think Romney would be a tough sale for some conservatives TIS.
He is a bit of a flip flopper extraordinaire. Hardcore conservatives may worry about whether or not he would sell them out. The similarities between the Massachusetts Health Care Act and the Presidents Affordable Health Care act are bothersome to many conservatives.

The other issue which is mostly running under the surface but is nonetheless important to some (not all) evangelicals is that Romney is a Mormon. Most of the people who feel this way are likely in the lower Midwest or South , which would vote Republican anyway so it may not hurt Romney's chances in general election that much if he got the nomination.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
