romney gets hand job from washington post
--------------------
NEWARK, Ohio Mitt Romney is still awkward sometimes, a bit robotic and stilted at the lectern. But a turnabout seems to be happening: Voters say they are seeing him through a new prism.
Hes not stiff. Hes letting his own human nature through, talking like you and I are talking now, not guarded and watching what hed say, Marge Sowa, 69, said of the Republican presidential candidate after sizing him up at a pancake breakfast in Brunswick, Ohio, during his tour of potential battleground states. He showed personality oh, big time. He was one of the guys.
One of the guys. Thats a far cry from how voters described Romney during the tumultuous GOP primaries. Now that he is their likely nominee and running an extremely close race against President Obama, Republicans are demonstrating fresh enthusiasm.
Instead of polite clapping, Romneys campaign speech riffs are cheered with hoots and whistles and chants of Rom-ney! Rom-ney! As he builds to the crescendo in his remarks saying its time to take the torch and hold it up high so the United States can again become that shining city on a hill his words are drowned out with bursts of applause.

and the clouds part and a heavenly host begin singing the most rapturous tune, and the very hand of Almighty God Himself descends to Earth, pointing directly toward Romney, and a deep, booming voice is heard to say, "Behold your next President!"
The Washington Post has become absurd.
