I think there was a lot of jealousy because Romney is smart, dazzingly successful, squeaky clean with a squeaky clean family, and handsome. But the most obvious dislike came from McCain and Huckabee. Huckabee’s reasons are obvious. He was whipping up the anti-Mormons.
I’ve never met Romney, but I’ve never seen him be arrogant. His attitude has always been gracious, even when he was under attack.
Yet, the reports of the other candidates' dislike of Romney state exactly that as the reason and of course, they have met him frequently. The description often used about Romney's demeanor, patrician, is a nice way of saying that he thinks he is better than everyone else because he belongs to a higher class.
As long as we are doing personal impressions, I didn't personally call him arrogant, just reporting what others have said. I wouldn't call Romney humble. There seems to be lots of pride in Romney.
Very well said. I thought you'd be happy to see what Mitt said from the very start about Sarah Palin. Like you said, he has been gracious throughout.
