Tim Alberta's book does a great job of describing the Romney-McCain dynamic from 2008 to 2012. Basically McCain upset a lot of the activist base by being too soft on immigration (and people attributed some of his margins in 2008 to this). Romney saw this and hardened his stances from 2008 to move to the right of the rest of the field on the issue. This is part of why he was forgiven by the base for Romneycare.
