Warmth
According to reports, the plan is to showcase the warm, fuzzy side of Mitt Romney at the upcoming GOP convention, countering his image as a cold, unfeeling technocrat unable to connect with ordinary people. There will be a film clip of him giving his Swiss banker a big bear hug and videos of him tossing coins to grateful Cayman Islanders from the bridge of his yacht. One highlight will be Tuesday night’s appearance by Donald Trump, during which the Donald will fire someone, only to have Mitt hire him on the spot. On Wednesday, his pick for vice-president, Paul Ryan, will go over the details of his budget plan. Even Mitt will seem warm and cuddly after that cold-blooded performance. On Thursday night, just before accepting the nomination, Romney reportedly will drive onstage and finally release his dog from the cage on the car’s roof. Top that, Barack!
