I write this based on the thoughts of two great intellectuals : Robert Creamer and Noam Scheiber and my own observations :
Mitt Romney suffers from an incredible lack of character and personality. He is a "well oiled weathervane". And that is very grave and defeating for Romney because this presidential election will be decided on the character and core values of the candidates.
"Barack Obama is a tough, decisive guy — a guy who is guided by solid core principles and has a disciplined, laser-focused will. This is not a President that flip-flops in the political wind or is swayed by the last person who talks to him. Above all, Barack Obama is centered. He has a solid core built around strong core values". The hunt and killing of Osama Bin Laden shows President Obama at his best as a decisive leader and strong man". - Robert Creamer in the Huffington Post, January 29, 2012
"Voters want leaders who believe in something other than their own election. Quite correctly they want leaders with a strong moral center. They want leaders who make and keep commitments to their principles and to other people. And they want to know that the candidates they support are the leaders they will get after the election — not, as John Huntsman said of Romney, “a well-oiled weathervane". - Robert Creamer.
And John Huntsman is a very close friend and supporter of Romney and also a fellow Mormon.
The recent History of Republican presidential defeats in the last 40 years shows that Mitt Romney will be defeated in 2012 by President Obama.

Why Romney Is Too Moderate to Beat Obama

Why Romney Is Too Moderate to Beat Obama
Some excerpts :
Romney, if anything, suffers even more acutely from this problem. McCain and Dole were war heroes, at least, which counts for something in conservative circles. They also hailed from conservative states. In the eyes of right-wingers, Romney’s résumé offers nothing remotely as redeeming. No surprise, then, that having effectively bagged the nomination, a time when you’d expect him to lunge for the middle, Romney is moving rightward.
How else to explain his strange embrace of Paul Ryan and Ryan’s Medicare-gutting, upper-income-tax-refunding budget in recent days? Given that the country is pretty down on Republicans, Romney's only hope of winning the presidency is to distance himself from the party. And yet, over the last week, he’s done nothing but tie himself to the GOP's most polarizing elements. He spent five days as Ryan’s wingman in Wisconsin and then explicitly defended the Ryan plan in Washington on Wednesday.
