WATCH IT YOURSELF
Well, I was going to give you all a summary of Gov. Romney's excellent talk here in Washington, but you know what? You should just watch it yourself. I can't say it any better than he did:
All I will add is that I am sorry you can't see Sen. Jim Talent's introduction, which really spoke to me (and I think would have done the same to his fellow Presbyterians, David and Nancy). I'm paraphrasing, but Sen. Talent noted how remarkable it is that those who have worked with Gov. Romney (or supported him, as in our case) tend to be extremely loyal. He pointed out how this might have something to do with how wonderful Mrs. Romney is, hence Gov. Romney's joke at the outset, but he also said (again, I'm paraphrasing) it has to do with the character of the man. If I may say, that is so right. That's not to say I disagree with any of his comments on foreign policy; I don't. And it's not to say I think he's perfect; he's not. But it's clear to me he is a very, very good man, and I won't apologize for saying that matters.
UPDATE: With thanks to reader Diane and the best channel on television, C-SPAN, you can view Sen. Talent's introduction here.
