I recced that because of the description of Mitt: what a decent man the GOP nominee is. That’s something a lot of Americans who saw Romney as a remote, rich guy who didn’t understand them should have learned while the issue was still in doubt. The Mitt Romney of Mitt is funny, kind, and loving. He’s also skeptical about his prospects of success, introspective, aware that he is a “flawed candidate” and frustrated about the way his opponents smeared him. He has a sense of his limits as well as a healthy perspective on all the advantages he received from his father George, who remains his hero. Contrary to the narrative hammered home by the Democrats’ unprecedented barrage of negative advertising, this is not a privileged character that was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. However, I don't buy the conclusion: the task Mitt Romney took on in 2012 was probably impossible. Republicans were immune to Barack Obama’s charms and largely ignored the way most Americans responded to his historic status as our first African-American president. Nothing short of a cataclysm .... Mitt had Romneycare hanging over him at a time when Obamacare was unpopular. And he blew the last debate, acting like a puppy dog. He was probably acting on advice, but it was a big mistake.
