It seems some in the teaparty do not like Romney

"Brendan Steinhauser, who travels around the country meeting with activists as FreedomWorks’ top liaison to the grassroots, said most people he talks to are “definitely trying to stop Romney.”

“I don’t think I’ve met any groups or any local activists that like him or want him to be president,” Steinhauser said. “They just don’t believe he’s authentic. That’s the biggest problem in addition to the health care thing.”"

What do they mean by "not authentic"?

Not true at all.... That's only the propaganda against him, not the truth.

What we have "generally" meant that he's not authentic is that during the first election he came across to stiff too often. He didn't seem as natual and sincere as he could have. However, this time around he looks like he's gotten into his groove. I don't think I've seen him stiff at all this time around.

Hope people watch his recent healthcare presentation, so they can judge him a little more accurately. He's a sharp guy.... lot of good ideas.

What's his position on homosexuality and Church funding of Proposition 8?
What's his position on requiring secret passwords and handshakes to get into heaven?
What's his position on why Negro's weren't allowed the Priesthood until 1978?
What's his position on the Equal Rights Amendment?
What's his current position on porn and how has that changed since resigning from the board of the Marriott Corp?

In the end, Mormonism will sink his chances regardless of how good a politician he is.
Huntsman I believe, will stand a better chance if he continues to distance himself from the Church.
