Pretty sure many people will say that we are seeing the "real Romney" here but I'm not so sure. Becoming president of the United States is way more significant then being very rich. I would not be surprised if this is just more pandering to get past the chalk.

I could buy that, but the one thing that gets me is that this is the most genuine-sounding Romney I've heard. It might be pandering, but then it's his best pandering yet. It sounds like a guy talking to his peers.

Agree. This is the first time I've felt what seems to be heartfelt emotion from him. The whole thing felt candid and real. I swear every other time I've seen him he moves like a marionette with a painted wooden smile.

Interesting point, but as mk points out, its one of a very few times this campaign where he's seemed emotional. Typically he has that sunshiny smile where you can't tell what he thinking, because he's saying nothing. I'm interested to hear the next part of the video. What could be so much worse? My guess is that is has something to do with minorities.
