One, Romney wants some form of romneycare nationally.
Two, GOP are not going to get the 60 votes they need in the Senate.
Three, there will be some sort of compromise that will permit the reform and revision of ACA.
That's not necessarily true. As governor he represented the people of MA, he went along with their representatives and got it done.
He certainly doesn't appear to be a strong ideologue, so there is a better than even shot he'll seek legislation that the people want, won't crater the budget, and more likely than not, be bi-partisan. Yes, it's much easier for a non-ideologue to find common ground with various factions.
That is what is scaring so many on the left.
Romney wouldn't have been the first choice of many, but he managed to cross the line while others feel to the sidelines.
