If Mitt Romney’s supporters are looking to him to buck them up in his efforts to derail the John McCain nomination train, I’m not sure he’s coming through for them in the TV appearance we just posted below. Especially from someone as reflexively and plastically cheery, Mitt was awfully subdued. It’s sort of like his speech last night in which even the people standing behind him (and remember, that’s not audience, those people are placed there to add looks of excitement and enthusiasm). Everybody up there looked like they’d just gotten three swift punches to the gut, which I guess they had.
