OK yeah, that is strange.

I’ll charitably chalk it up to being playful and silly. Or the horse was Mr. Ed. If I was Mitt, I’d make sure to watch out for similar incidents.

I didn’t find it pro-Romney. He comes off fairly likable and humble (to the point of being defeatist at times).

My favorite scene was Romney talking about how he couldn’t have done anything he had done in his life without his father, that his father had been a genuinely great man that rose up from nothing, and he Mitt had had it fairly easy with all the head starts his father was able to provide him. A genuinely kind, insightful, sincere speech that his party doesn’t agree with in any meaningful way, and Romney himself manages to forget when it comes to policy positions.
