Interesting Sentences: Romney

This is the first time I heard the first part of this sentence or anything like unto it: (HT: Mungowitz)

The party establishment wants Romney, but its voters have been so thoroughly trained to focus on gays and abortion that they cannot sit still behind a candidate who concentrates on business and economic growth.

Now that either means the "party leadership" is so secretive a cabal that no one has divined their hidden agenda except Furguson here ... or maybe his analysis is fundamentally flawed?
