Is the media now going to push Romney as a nice guy that would make a good President

Just heard this on MSNBC. The Netflix movie is well received by reporters on his campaign trail, saying behind the scenes he really is a nice guy and would make a good President. Nothing said about his policies, nothing said about how he was pushing the far right agenda.Totally made me sick. Turned off the TV.

I don't get the impression that there's a great deal of support for reheating that particular souffle.

He needs to study Gore on being gracious. Well, maybe it is that whole entitlement thing and people call social security an entitlement they have nothing on Romney's whole attitude.

talking about how calm Mitt was while writing his last-minute concession speech. Of course, that completely ignores the fact that the guy arrogantly believed he had no chance of losing.

Meanwhile President Obama, who is constantly being hit with the "arrogant" tag, had two speeches at the ready.

he is still being an ass towards Obama. there is not much lower this man can go. Although, I love how he tells people he never inherited anything from his father because his father set up tax exempt trusts for him before he died, What an ass. so disrespectful to our intelligence as well.

I followed the campaign fairly closely, and I don't think I can come up with any sort of policy he advocated (and no, repeal Obamacare is not a policy).

I think he's being trotted out because the GOP realizes that now that Christie imploded they have no candidates within shouting distance of sanity.
