Romney to get personal at convention

Connecting with voters in a seemingly personal way has always been one of his big challenges. Doing it in a setting like a convention is a challenge, if you don’t have that gift. It’ll be interesting to see if he pulls it off. If he does, it could be a game changer. Plenty of people are still on the fence. That usually means they’re looking for something to guide on.

Mitt Romney is about to get personal.

The GOP’s presidential nominee-to-be wants to use his four-day party next week in Florida to play up his life story following a summer filled with a barrage of TV ads – courtesy of President Barack Obama and his allies – that cast him as a ruthless and out-of-touch businessman.

He’ll surround himself with his five sons, five daughters-in-law and 15 of his 18 grandchildren. Romney’s wife, Ann, will play her biggest role yet. A parade of athletes Romney met as an Olympic organizer, such as hockey legend Mike Eruzione, will be on hand. So will doting parishioners he helped as a lay pastor in the Mormon Church in Boston.
