Romney turns on the ‘down-to-earth’ charm for Facebook town hall (barf alert)
Daily Caller ^ | 5.16.11

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney tried to show just how down to earth he can be in a Facebook town hall Monday. Standing in the Las Vegas convention center, in front of a group of campaign volunteers who seemed to be taking no notice, the 2012 presidential contender put on something like a ‘folksy’ charm. He wore a shirt but no tie, with the top button undone. When the camera first started going, he looked surprised, asking if he was on the air. He stood not quite in the center of the camera field.

Romney spoke off the cuff, reading questions submitted on Facebook, and addressing the questioners directly when he answered their questions (“Debbie, the best thing I can do for entrepreneurs in this country…”). He discussed debt, job creation, and energy.

But it appeared to be very much a show.

The hippies had a good word for Romney, “plastic.” He’s a little politics doll with something for everyone, and nothing dependable.

Did he have some dirt under his nails too?

Flashback to 2008:

The Magic RINO Romney:
"You will embrace these attacks on the Gov. Palin and the GOP now, throwing the Election.
Create, then support, these anti-Palin attacks from our northern lands,
the media, and our operatives on the Obama and McCain teams who will join you.
I will gain GOP favor by condemning the attacks and
ordering them opposed from our lands in the south.
Whichever way the tide runs, we will rise and be left standing.
"


2011:

I hear that he went out for his hunting license immediately afterwards, since he’s a “lifelong hunter”.

The business suit with open collar has replaced the red power tie, if you want to look like a third world dictator or a socially challenged stiff pretending to be what he is not..
