Oh the humanity!

"I'm a normal person. I have emotions." Hillary? No, Romney. Yes, we've had a few days of misting up on the trail and efforts to humanize a candidate not known for reaching out and touching people. Not very effective and smacks of rank manipulation (yeah, who'd have thought in the middle of a campaign?). But this is one heck of an ad and does something that I and many have been suggesting for awhile: show something in his business background that convinces people he has the personal attributes and skills to be president. Probably his most effective ad yet.
