What type of stories do you focus on when your candidate is doing well? The guy grew up there - those are the trees of his childhood. Is it an odd way to phrase it? Yes. But having FR filled with stories about Mitt’s views on trees says more negative things about the intellectual interest of a subset of individuals on FR than it does about Mitt Romney.

Mitt sure has flaws as a candidate. If I opposed his as the nominee, I’d focus on those vs. focusing on trees, a 2nd Cadillac, or his underwear.

The guy grew up there

What a load. He grew up in vacation homes all over the place and hasn't lived here for better than 30 years. His bizarre little speech just shows how out of touch he is and should be ridiculed.

I grew up around trees. The big pines of North Michigan. Mitt grew up in Cranbrook and Bloomfield Hills in the concrete jungle. The trees of his childhood are the trees in suburbia.
