Romney ran, and was elected, as a moderate. Since going after the national stage he's been running away from a lot of his earlier positions, which is tough in a day and age where most of what you say finds it's way onto the internet. So he looks like a hypocrite. Or, more precisely, like he's pandering to the ultra-right-wingers, who are generally considered to be essential to winning the primary. Which is exactly what he's doing. Other politicians manage to make it look a bit less obvious than he does.
