...Romney displayed true leadership. He badgered his aides to crunch numbers, even after they told him it was futile. Once he found his solution, he was a heartfelt spokesman. Robert Moffit, director of Health Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation, recounts that Romney gave a PowerPoint presentation to brief him on the plan. So he’s dorky—but sincere...

I hold the former Vice President and his nifty PowerPoint presentation responsible for it all: for the pile of recycling-bound newspapers that now towers over my desk; for a national college magazine recommending that I shower with a friend to save water; for making me, a proud Massachusetts moderate (read: deep-blue liberal) feel like a reactionary...
