Like Rush says why are they resignation speeches among the best? Classy and touching especially talking about Anita. Watching her watch him, I see real love and support. Seems that many political wives look vacant and disinterested. Will miss him but he did a good think if Romney loses SC.
Possibly they're a lot more relaxed because once the decision is made, the pressure and stress are gone. Also, for anyone with hopes of a future political career, these speeches are the last chance to make a good impression to linger until "next time".
