Mitt Romney is often accused of being a mechanical candidate, a guy whose looks are perfect and who has thought about every issue and has standardized statements on each one. But he does have a sense of humor that sometimes breaks through, as it did today–caucus day–in Iowa after Mke Huckabee’s campaign consultant, Ed Rollins, said he’d like to punch Romney. Here’s what Rollins told the Washington Post: “What I have to do is make sure any anger with a guy like Romney, whose teeth I want to knock out, doesn’t get in the way of my thought process.” Romney took note of Rollins’s comment in a speech in Des Moines to employes of the Principal Group, the financial management firm. “My own comment,” Romney said, “is ‘don’t touch the hair.'”
Dean’s always saying it–beneath that robotic exterior, there’s a really funny, charming guy. If that is the real Romney, better late than never I suppose…
