What an interview! Chris Wallace just presented what could be used by schools as the example of how to interview presidential candidates. This interview had quite a few “tough questions”, but none of them were presented in the irresponsible way Bret Baier asked them a few weeks ago. Chris made sure his audience knew why he was asking the questions he asked, and he didn’t presume to know the answer. The contrast between the two interviews could not be more stark, but now let’s focus on today’s interview.
The interview started with Chris Wallace reminding his audience that Mitt hasn’t been on a Sunday morning show in almost two years which Mitt just laughed off (it’s been a strategy in order to peak at the right time, not because Mitt is afraid of tough questions). This interview was very educational and Mitt was able to answer the questions a lot of voters likely have in a way that I think will satisfy quite a few of them. I was especially touched by personal questions Chris Wallace had Mitt answer at the end of the interview. The follow-up questions caused Mitt to go into more detail about how he felt after Ann was diagnosed with MS and how much Ann means to Mitt. I hope this interview is seen by millions of voters because it was powerful and the end was emotional.
The interview was taped yesterday before the big endorsement of Mitt by the Des Moines Register, but Chris Wallace did mention that endorsement to his audience immediately following the interview.
We will post the interview here in it’s entirety as soon as it’s available. Here’s the transcript until then.
Gov. Romney is going to do the Top 10 on Letterman tomorrow. Mitt is going to be interviewed by Charlie Rose tomorrow night as well.
I totally agree. A much better interview.
My choice for our next President is Mitt Romney..!! He will be a President we will all be proud of and will bring honor, respect, pride, and GOD back to our Nation..!! He has more qualifications than all the other candidates put together…a very capable man to lead our Country back to normal and the greatness that it once was before whats-his-name messed it up..!!
I think he had tears in his eyes
My husband and I felt that this interview was the best! And we both commented that Mitt did have tears well up as he talked about his Ann! He is such a wonderful, and caring person!
Gov. Romney is a good man. He is bright, articulate, and compassionate. His knowledge and experience, on both foreign and domestic issues, is remarkable. His vision to restore America is realistic. He has a detailed plan to stabilize the job market base and allow substantial growth by removing several restrictions from Washington’s Obamic Bureaucracy. Mitt Romney is the BEST candidate to get America working again. He is NOT a Washington insider. His family values are impeccable, and that alone says ‘tons’. The 2012 election will be decisive in the fact that America will either recover, or… continue to spiral down to third world status. I believe in America, and I believe in Gov. Romney’s plan to renew and invigorate the American Dream. He will make an outstanding President.
