Here's a sample, from the files, with a youthful Romney sounding more convincing, more vigorous as a liberal than he has as a milquetoast social conservative.
Here's another where he goes into dodgy mode.
Update: My friend, Jeanne Traester of Amherst, MA, was a huge supporter of Gov. Romney. Now? Not as much.
More lighthearted times: This is a photo I snapped of James Traester, Jeanne's son, with you-know-who. Mr. Mitt spoke to James and his classmates about the Olympics. He was a hit with the students, and he looked presidential.

So what if he needs a focus group to decide what he believes--he has great hair. Isn't that enough? ;-)
Height, hair, presence, money, the requisite big family, and not even the vaguest idea what constitutional government is yeah, he's the perfect hollow man.
Jeanne Traester is the same person who came to the UMass Republican Club meeting and tried to bully us into violating our constitution and endorsing Healey -- who hadn't even bothered to speak to us -- for Lt Gov when Jim Rappaport had spoken twice and such.
I will never forget her line -- "you need to think about your political futures" -- the not so veiled threat and my response was "So Be It" and that was really the point at which I and the mASSgop changed courses.
Romney, if elected, is going to do to the national GOP what he did to the MassGOP -- and what that means is that it will be split in a way that it hasn't been since James G. Blane lost to Grover Cleveland.
It well may be split worse than that -- it may go the way of the Whig and Federalist parties -- and perhaps that is a necessity.
