...This new Romney loves talking about the same thing that the real Romney loves talking about: how to maximize economic theory, improve trade, write off capital expenditures and make more money for everyone. He will speak lovingly about circuit board innovations, and fiber optic technology, and health care policy - rather than gay marriage or abortion. He will speak about numbers and statistics in a way that connects with an audience, not because he is interesting, but because no one can doubt that he knows his stuff.

He literally will talk about humor as something that can be decided upon in the boardroom. "We had a team of people, several teams who came together and said, 'What do we want to have as part of our corporate culture, our enterprise culture?' " he explained Saturday of his effort to save the Salt Lake City Olympics. "And one of the rules we had was we were going to have fun. And the first...
