Sallow
The Big Bad Wolf.
Well, first on style. This was a much better speech then he gave on the economy. He was both poised and relaxed. He articulated well and didn't give in to his usual tics and odd phrasing.
On substance, he did a bit of backtracking from his "self deporting" days just a few months ago. Now it's, "As President I will over a long term solution, not a short term fix". He's still inaccurate about Obama not doing anything, since in 2010, the dream act was put up..and filibustered. But he softened his attacks on Obama in regards to the economy. Now, Romney acknowledges it was in bad shape before Obama got into office. And he's seemed to drop the "but he made it worse" meme..and is going with the "it's not recovering fast enough" meme. All in all, it looks like he's fast coming to the realization that his "base" isn't going to cover it..in terms of putting him into the white house. But the danger is..it looks like another "flip flop".
But overall..I'd give this one a "C".
He probably didn't win any hispanics over..but at least they might give him a second look.
