...Michigan, the state where he was born and where his father governed. This was, as is Romney's wont, distillate of hokum. The former Massachusetts governor remains the most pessimistic of candidates, always assuming the worst about the public?and never taking a difficult position or telling a hard truth.

Questioning him one after the other, they all seemed to be trying to prove the same thing: there are three sides to every story - Paul Burrell's, Paul Burrell's, and the truth.
