Now Mitt Romney Wants You To Love Him
posted on October 8, 2012BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins chronicles Mitt Romney’s changing public persona following his successful debate performance last week. Coppins writes that Romney is making a greater effort to connect with voters on an emotional level. “At a sunset rally in St. Petersburg Friday night, Romney devoted a large chunk of his speech to relating three personal, heartstring-tugging tales of people who have passed away, including an old friend from graduate school, and a soldier in Afghanistan,” writes Coppins. “His most impactful story, though, was of a sick 14-year-old boy, David Oparowski, in his Mormon ward who asked ‘Brother Romney’ to help him write a ‘will’ before he died.”
