It was the sort of performance that the former CEO of eBay - and newcomer to the whirlpool known as electoral politics - has become almost slick at delivering.

The bedroom has yet another giant screen that swings out from the wall - very important if you are going to watch a game from the whirlpool tub in the bathroom, where, once again, neutrals predominate.
