True. But if he’s willing to put so much effort into it, doesn’t that say something about his commitment to the voters he’s reaching out to? Would he put out this much effort to gain support only to turn his back on them once he’s elected? I don’t think so.

I've seen stranger things. I've seen a lot of youtube video of Romney saying quite different things.

doesn’t that say something about his commitment to the voters he’s reaching out to?

A plausible alternative: naked ambition?

[Reaganesque]

Not all ambition is bad. It's like money. People often misquote the scriptures when they say "Money is the root of all evil." What the scripture actually says is "The love of money is the root of all evil." Ambition for ambition's sake or for the sake of self-aggrandizement is surely wrong.

However, ambition to be the best one can be, to achieve for the sake of building something better for all or to serve others for unselfish reasons no matter how small or large the sevice, that is not evil, in my opinion. It's not ambition that's the problem, it's the personal motivation behind the ambition. Those who suspect Mitt of less than pure motives, have only their cynicism and assumptions to back up their accusations.

Hillary is ambitious in the way you speak of. She truly believes that she is our better. She's "the smartest woman to have ever lived," just ask her. In her opinion, we cannot live without her. She will not answer hard questions, tolerate dissent of any kind and takes angry offense at the drop of a hat when someone offers even the smallest bit of criticism. Her husband was/is the same way. It's all self-serving. It's all about them and their egos. That is blind ambition.

I have never, in the 30 years I have known Mitt Romney, seen even a hint of this kind of egotism in him and those who have met him on the campaign trail seem to agree given these poll numbers. Again, if it was all about him and his ego, all this work and money would simply expose that and it's not. Mitt Romney is the genuine article and people are beginning to see that.
