ST. PETERSBURG,Fla.—Mitt Romney, his friends often say, is a private man in a public world. But with just one month left until the election, he has calculated that to win the presidency he must do what for years he has been loath to: share intimate stories about his life.
So it was that as the sun set on his rally here Friday night,...Romney talked about David for the first time himself.
“It was clear he was not going to make it,”Romney said. “I went into his room one night when he was in bed,and he asked me a very difficult question. He said, ‘Mitt, what’s next?’ He called me ‘Brother Romney.’ ‘What’s next?’ And I talked to him about what I believe is next.”
A few days later, when David was in the hospital,he called Romney.
“I was at work and he said,‘Can you come by?’ And he said,‘You went to law school, right?'”
Romney told him yes. “He said,‘Could you come by and write my will for me?'” Romney recalled. “So I went to David’s bedside and got a piece of legal paper, made it look very official. And then David proceeded to tell me what he wanted to give his friends. Talked about his fishing rod, and who would get that. He talked about his skateboard, who’d get that. And his rifle — that went to his brother.”
“I’ve seen the character of a young man like David,” Romney continued. “He had his eyes wide open. There’s a saying — Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose.’ David couldn’t lose. I loved that young man.”
It just so happens that a banner with the same adage hung over Romney’s holding room backstage at Wednesday night’s debate in Denver. As he walked out to debate the president,Romney looked up and read, “Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can’t Lose!”

I am going to keep rubbing your noise in this until you finally answer.
You posture as if you opposition to Romney is morally based. Yet you refuse continually to address this action by Obama from Aug 2012.
Don't just regurgitate your ignorance based talking points. Address why you refuse to hold Obama accountable for his current actions.
Barack Obama, for the 1st time in Democrat Party history, had pro tax payer funded abortion on demand up to birth and pro gay marriage planks added to their 2012 platform.
If you are too stupid to recognize how evil that is, may God have mercy on your soul.
“No you lose. Until you answer this point you have NO credibility on this thread.”
I already answered it though, and you are not even defending Mitt from what I said. Which makes me wonder. If you know that what I wrote about Romney is true, why are you so worried about Obama who agrees with Mitt? You are not explaining why Mitt Romney is superior to Obama, other than asserting that Obama does this or that, when Romney has a career of agreeing with him, even recently.
You posture as if you opposition to Romney is morally based. Yet you refuse continually to address this action by Obama from Aug 2012. Instead you post fraudulent attacks on Romney's record from a decade ago.

ANSWER the question. Don’t just keep squealing your ignorance based talking points, answer the question.
“ANSWER the question. Don’t just keep squealing your ignorance based talking points, answer the question.”
I have answered it, several times. In fact, I’ve answered it every time we have spoken over the past few months. Though, you’ve become more and more unhinged after each encounter though.
“ANSWER THE QUESTION”
READ MY ANSWER!!
So since you will not answer, I will.
You are either completely politically ignorant or a Obamabot spewing forth disinformation in the vain hopes it will keep people from voting against your god Barack Hussein Obama.
Either way your credibility on this website is done. Like Murry Mom and Lore, you have become a joke around here.
“So since my small brain can’t comprehend your answer, I will assume you are a shill for a political party just like me and answer for you.”
There, fixed it for you.
RaisingCain Since Apr 15, 2012
“Sorry Ridiculous Clown, your hypocritical fraud has now been laid bare for all to see. You lose Obamabot. Better slither back to DU and report your cover has been blown.
RaisingCain Since Apr 15, 2012”
Well, hopefully you really believe that, so that way you won’t bug me in the future since my “cover” has been blown.
You know, your post has to be one of the most excessively STUPID posting every posted here. In a board with such a long rich history, that is a MAJOR accomplishment. Your post is ultra, completely mega stupid. We will have to come up with a whole new classification of stupid to adequately address your level of idiocy. World Record Stupid! Rock hard dehydrated stupid! Lifetime Achievement Stupid! So stupid it MUST be a lost fragment of the primordial soup from with all imbeciles since have sprung. It sets a whole new standard by which stupidity will be judged from now on! Quick, call the Nobel Comittee. We have to estabish a whole new Nobel Prize for World Record Stupidty just so this poster can be award it!!!
I applaud your courage. Most people attempt to hide their moronic natures but not YOU. NO, you FLAUNT your morondom. You proudly cruise the Internet squealing “I AM THE WORLDS LARGEST IDIOT”. I must say I have NEVER seen anyone so willing to make peace with a painful personal truth as you have embraced your imbecility. Well done brave soul!
You sound like an Obama troll. Go back to DU.
*...snicker.*
Really? That’s the best you can do in response? The same old BS that you posted to everyone else?
You’re just like Obama during the debates. Repeat the same old tired talking points over and over. Except whereas Obama was barely smart enough to realize that he wasn’t getting anywhere, you seem to be convinced that you’re actually making a difference, and getting undecided people on board your train.
That’s funny. I’m sitting here with a smirk on my face. Watching you explode in impotent rage is almost as fun as watching the DU ant farm.
Keep pounding that keyboard! The computer industry needs your support.
Not sure which post you are responding to, but since no one has answered any of my points sufficiently, I suppose it is something worth repeating. It sure does drive people into fits of madness, so it’s probably effective.
Oh really?
Perhaps it’s because when someone does answer one of your points, your response is “MITTBOT!” in the same tone of voice as a three-year-old’s whiny “Nuh-UH!”
Most people have realized that no answer could possibly “sufficiently” satisfy your impotent rage, so they’ve instead taken to laughing at you.
And so have I.

Notice you never actually addressed anything I wrote. Curiously, very few people actually do. Like I told the other goons, get back to me when you can show me what I have said that is wrong about Mitt Romney or the LDS.
Oh, and, MittBot.
Blah blah blah. The fine people upthread and on other threads have already responded just fine to what you had to say. Why should I waste my time repeating it when all you’re going to do is copypasta some worn out old retort that doesn’t even address what I say at all?
Especially when my goal isn’t to argue you into making some semblance of sense, but rather to let you know that you’ve become a subject of pity, derision, and laughter.
That and I have a bet going that I can run you around in rhetorical circles without you even noticing it.
