Hutchison: You dont have to like Romney to elect him president
> what you've just said, senator, what is i've heard from many republicans and heard frankly from mitt romney and paul ryan themselves, but there is this sense and even his aders have said -- advisors have said this is a chance to reintroduce himself to americans at this convention. what is it that has not connected with them so far and maybe women in particular?
>> well, i do think that his human side and the fact that he has lived such a good and moral life, that he is a good family man, that his wife has had multiple sclerosis and together they have raised five sons, getting through that kind of an obstacle and they've done it with grace and humility, i think the fact that he's a good person, and --
>> i think -- and i don't mean to interrupt you, but i think most people would say that barack obama has been a good family man, raised two beautiful daughters he is a faithful christian, so there's something about mitt romney it seems to me that -- and again, that his advisors say has not yet connected with the american people . how does he turn that corner on thursday?
>> well, i will say, i agree with you on mitt romney -- on obama . president obama is a good man and a good family man. but i think what you're saying is, that mitt romney hasn't connected that yet, and i think that he, too, is a good man, but he also has a record of accomplishment. he has a record of doing things that are very difficult and making changes that are good. that's what he needs to get across because it's not whether you like someone to elect them president . . .

But it helps if you don't completely detest the man! The more people learn about Mittens, the more they will detest him, and his sidekick.

people don't like Mitt OR his policies, (you know, the policies he will decide on after the election) and let "you people" (we peasants) know.
And he stands by what he said, whatever it was.

Has that been forgotten?
Is it just passe?
Nobody wants to have a beer with Romney.
Nobody wants to have a cup of tea with Romney either.
He is just a bore.
