Whoever leaked this is clearly a Republican, Romney looks like a decent bloke in this clip. Rich but careful with his money, friendly and pleasant.

I really wish political discussions would stick to policy positions and other relevant information.

Hmmm … recent news reports have it that George Zimmerman has also been enjoying off-the-record talks with Sean Hannity.

Real reporters have often served as in-betweeners for confidential negotiations, so that may also be possible for False Noise people.

And we know that Romney probably wants a running mate from the south, some say preferably one with Latino roots.

Hmmm!!!

I give Romney point for thanking someone by name just for handing him some water. Yeah, he may be out of touch with the little people’s lives but he is a decent human being. I have found him to be the least scary Republican presidential candidate since Ford.

Is there something inherently wrong with being rich? How you got to be rich, maybe. How you treat people, definitely.

If he was bragging about how much he spent on the horses, I’d see your point. But just the fact that a rich guy has an expensive hobby, not really.

I actually found the part where he said he stayed in a little cheaper hotel to save money a point in his favor. If your really a conservative, you don’t always have to stay in the most expensive place in town.

This won’t make me vote for him but if he could look this relaxed and human more often he’d have a better chance of winning.

I know folks who own horses, they don’t own the type that Romney does. It’s the difference between a nice full sized sedan and a luxury car.

Yeah, the only time we sounded all richy-rich was when discussing the various breeds. I don’t know much about horses, but from hearing him talk I am not surprised to hear you say that.

Still… “Breaking News: Romney family owns expensive horses; likes to ride them” is not exactly an eye-grabbing headline…

OTOH, I agree this is largely humanizing for him. He’s so robot-awful the rest of the time.

So what? I think you could get a lot more mileage out of Newt Gingrich’s bounced check than this video.

Not liking pink ties is not homophobic. Just good sense. He comes across like a real human and is sensible enough to not wear a pink tie.

Maybe there is something to him after all….
