Mitt Romney has decided that the route to the Republican nomination is to express adoration in the most obsequious manner possible for America and the people (esp. Republican primary voters) who make this the greatest land on earth:
MR. VANDEHEI: Governor Romney, Daniel Dukovnic (sp) from Walnut Creek, California, wants to know: What do you dislike most about America?
MR. ROMNEY: Gosh. I love America. I’m afraid I’m going to be at a loss for words, because America for me is not just our rolling mountains and hills and streams and great cities, it’s the American people. And the American people are the greatest people in the world. What makes America the greatest nation in the world is the heart of the American people -- hard-working, innovative, risk-taking, God- loving, family-oriented American people. It’s that optimism we thank Ronald Reagan for. Thank you, Mrs. Reagan, for opening up this place in his memory for us. It is that optimism about this great people that makes us the greatest nation on Earth.
...
MR. ROMNEY: Of course everyone -- one of -- everyone who’s a person of faith has values that are deeply held in their heart, and they include the value of the relationship they have with their spouse and their children, the value that they place with their country and with their community. That’s what makes America such a powerful land. Look at us! We’re a land that the -- that’s the envy of the entire world. We are the hope of the world, not because of our wealth but because of our hearts.
The scary thing is, it might just work.
