Coach? Is the Gulfstream G550 in the shop, Milt? That's like "Diamond" Jim Brady riding in a third class train car.

Would she rather have BS artists like Clinton or Obama lie to her?

Proof positive that he is either a Manchurian candidate or has already been gotten to by the Pod People.

Not defending Romney...but has this story been vetted? Romney flying commercial? Coach? Alone, with no advisors?

I dislike Romney, but I HATE people who want to talk to me on an airplane!

WTH?

I smell BS. Presidential Candidates don’t travel alone. They have their staff with them. And that staff would be seated next to Romney.

Is she sure it wasn’t one of the paid double-actors to look like Romney? I think she got duped.

Mitt Romney was polite as he took his seat in coach ....

Probably easy to squeeze into that middle seat with all the snake oil he peddles.

When was this? I doubt Mitt would fly coach, but even if he did, he’d probably be sitting next to a staffer, likely a scheduler.

I think this is BS, or a stunt. Does anyone believe that Romney flies on a public carrier, or flies coach?
Puh-Leez.

Does seem odd. I am from Boston and know people who have worked for Romney, run into him in town or a store and every one of these folks said he was very friendly and down to earth.

His state police driver and he used to talk all the time when he was governor.

I really have to wonder about this article. I disagree with Mitt’s politics and I would not say the man was an arrogant jerk.

I’m no Romney fan, but after talking all day, they last thing I would want to do is gab for 2 hours with a stranger on a plane.

Romney is like Green Kryptonite to me, but I sympathize with him here.

Living in Asia a few years, I thought of myself as a language whore. Everywhere I went, so many people had one thing on their minds: intercourse with me. You have intercourse with the close friends you make, but that leaves little time for strangers.

One time, riding a train, someone sat down next to me and said: Are you an American? In Chinese I said: No, I'm Russian, hoping he'd leave me alone. The guy behind me said to the guy next to me: Did he say he was Russian? And then he sat down with us blasting away in Russian. I could only bust out laughing.

“As a physician who heads a financial planning company and prides herself on having read every page of President Obama’s health care reform bill, Ms. McClanahan, 47, recognized that it’s not every day you’re seated next to a presidential candidate on a two-hour flight. According to Ms. McClanahan, about an hour into the flight — which Mr. Romney mostly spent reading USA Today and using an iPad while wearing headphones — she told him her idea for improving the American health care system: slashing overhead costs by switching to an electronic billing system.”

I suspect at the least her bio is fiction, “physician AND head of a financial planning co.”, yet her only comment on Obama’a foolish healthcare plan (which she also says she has read in it's entirety) is to switch to electronic billing? Planted article to give credibility to Obamacare and knock Romney. Figures that the one thing that I'd respect about him (ignoring her) is probably fiction.

Maybe his campaign doesn't have all the money he claims it has.

Besides, I have to side with Romney here. He doesn't owe these people anything, I mean really-- kibitzing about the healthcare mess while he's trying to get a few moments privacy? Expecting him to have a restaurant reco just off the top of his head? Shee-it, these weemen are crazy, and apparently think they are something special. Bad idea, girls.

Mitt Romney does not interact with humans.

OH ! Bro!
Want to know what a “unreported service in kind campaign contribution “ looks like ? This is a classic ! Here Emmmarie Huettman donates a $25.000 campaign contribution through The New York Times to the Romney campaign which will never enter the campaign dnoation ledger as a “service in kind”..

Watch how this makes the rounds in those so called “conservative” pundit websites and talk shows.

I gotta say, I don’t blame him for avoiding the attempted Obamacare talk, but not a single Boston restaurant recommendation (for a MA resident on his fourth political campaign)?

That’s just inexcusable!

He’s flying on a commercial flight in COACH??? I really, really don’t like Romney at ALL, but this sounds like a really idiotic idea - even if it was a calculated publicity stunt (he takes flights in coach, he’s just like all the rest of you plebeians)!

There is a reason you don’t usually sit next to a Presidential Candidate on a Commercial Flight — his campaign management team are idiots, IMHO. Either that, or he’s totally out of money (yeah... right...).
