The economy is reason #2 to choose him. Reason #1 is money. He has lots of his own and he will raise $100 million out of Mass, Mich, and the Mormon community within 60 days if chosen by McCain.
Frankly Romney is the Republican's only hope of matching the Obama money machine.
But McCain hates him. It would be a hold your nose pick. But that has happened before.

You speak of Romney's personal approach as if its fixed. Did you happen to hear his CPAC speech when he suspended his campaign? I think the entire Republican party experienced a bout of buyer's remorse thereafter. Romney is capable of a warm approach, IMO, but he wasn't prepared for the national exposure he got.
I think the McCain-Romney animus is overrated. Based on what I've read, the true "hatred" was more between staff than the candidates themselves, which really isn't too surprising. I think the same kind of situation existed between Obama and Hillary (more animus between staff than candidates).
