IMHO There were some snarky subliminals in that article.

I sincerely believe that many parents of young children and teenagers would love to see a President who is morally straight, a loving husband and father, a religious adherent and a successful businessman who is not a spiteful, vengeful narcissist.

Mitt Romney will be a great role model FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.

Socratic?

Huh wut?
Is this some article that Romney is a homo and they wish him to drink hemlock?

Next thing I know they'll be publishing stories on how Mitt likes gladiator movies...

Agree totally - was typing my earlier comment and got called away - glad I went back and read yours.

The NYT has taken doublespeak to an art form. Discerning readers get it...optimists beware;)

That’s exactly it. While I don’t think Mitt is that kind of guy, he could easily banish the MSNBC/CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS crowd to the back of the room and put Drudge, Fox, and FreeREpublic bloggers up front :)

Here is his father and him, a great influence on Mitt Romney's life:

Sad, but true, they both despise[d] conservatism and conservative voters and politicians.

If you don't read/lurk DU, I recommend it. They demand a very focused narrative to participate. They don't tolerate members who color outside the lines. One person dared question the wisdom of substituting “binders” for an articulated agenda and was unanimously vilified for it.

Their current cartoonish characterization of Romney refers to software programming in his head that sometimes malfunctions. A robot who loves to fire people...then send their jobs to China and load his offshore accounts with stolen pension money. He's a hater and a racist.

And they read the NYTimes...and think Krugman is an economic genius. This kind of article dispirits them. (Base suppression.) They're not happy unless everyone hates who they hate.

As far as Carter, he didn't have the kind of wildly successful corporate career Mitt has...nor did Carter understand basic economics. I'm not a Romney cheerleader, but just exterminating the current infestation of vermin will go a long way in reversing our current backsliding.

I'm wondering if these puff pieces are meant as some sort of olive-branch to Team Romney - with hopes of down-the-road interviews with the president-elect.

Bingo! The goal is to provide cover for later character assassination attempts.

Supports many of the comments made below about the press getting concerned about their "position" in a Romney administration:

From what I remember, most of his sons look just like him. Strong genetics.

Has everything to do with eminence grise Valerie Jarret. Obama hypnotized Americans for a long time but VJ has JugEars and Wookie under her spell

LOL. Forgot about that one. Ah, what a great movie. “A hospital, what is it?” “It’s a place where they take sick people but that’s not important . . . .”

Perhaps they are to create an illusion (for themselves as muxh as the public) of credibility.

This picture reminds me of a time when I was working in a bar near Disneyland and at one of the patio tables sat a couple with their boy, about Mitt’s age here. I watched for quite some time the boy regaling, complete with arm gestures, his parents about something, possibly his day at Disneyland, as they sat in rapt attention, listening to his every word.

It made me happy and also sad, as I never had the experience of my parents listening to anything I had to say; in fact, my brothers and I were actively encouraged not to speak.

Oh boy....there is a ton of firing that needs to happen in the government. If he can’t bring himself to do this he’ll be backstabbed for 4 years.
