way. which is the position he ll probably take and try to kick those down the road even farther. you wrote a piece saying ann romney connected pretty well, but it s not going to help him. how does he connect if he doesn t have that kind of personality, or do you think he does have it and he just hasn t revealed it yet? oh, i don t think he has it. i think he suffers from the al gore problem a bit which is no matter how charming he may be in private, in public he is very awkward and doesn t connect well. and what ann did was she came across very well. she told lovely stories about her. even when she was trying to tell us how great he was, she didn t have any specific anecdotes. she didn t come across with those kind of political stock and trade. one time he was there with this sick person, or one time he was you know, kind of things that are really basic showing you how somebody really is at heart. and so i don t even know that he ll be able to go much farther than that.
