I have the idea that the National Review is still smarting from the blowback of their endorsement of Romney in 2008. That it did not help Romney, and it damaged NR's credibility.
One gets the sense that a number of NRO people like Romney the best, but they don't want to lead the charge and be out front. So you get these articles that hint towards Romney, but don't come out and say it.
And that's what gets redstate and places like that so pissed off. They hate Romney.
It's very interesting how this is playing out.
