rehmwa 2 #1 July 12, 2012 The guy failed to speak down to the audience. He didn't quote any rhymes, pretend to speak like a preacher, or treat the crowd like lower class idiots or treat them like a huge group of stereotypes like Hillary did or Obama does. He just talked about his positions without any pandering to the crowd. I thought he was the next John Kerry (super rich northeastern panderer), but this was refreshing to see. I wonder if it'll be a consistent thing. It could just have been calculated strategy too. We'll see...... I'd still like a better choice than the two in front of me, but it's slightly better. ...

rehmwa 2 #3 July 12, 2012 we'll see - it could still just be a PR stunt but if both sides would just put out their vision - without the bashing and lying about each other - and then let US decide what we like. We'd all be better served. Whatever the motivation - this is still closer to how it should be done ...

Gravitymaster 0 #4 July 12, 2012 Whether it's a PR stunt or not, it's still refreshing to see any politician articulate his positions without the pandering bullshit. When was the last time you saw that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #5 July 12, 2012 I agree with all the above. I hope he's being honest, and not pandering. I'll still probably vote the other way, but the more I see of him, the gladder I am that Romney's the Rep nominee. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
