Mitt Romney's Awkward 1994 Interview With Ken Cole (VIDEO)

Mitt Romney: great at choosing haircuts, not so great at human interaction.

BuzzFeed uncovered a 1994 interview between then-Senate hopeful Romney and teen reporter Ken Cole. Romney was vying for Ted Kennedy's seat.

It's riddled with such conversational gems as the following.

"How do you like this music behind us right now, huh?" Cole asked.

"I like music of almost any kind, including this," replied Romney.

The awkward exchange occurred at a campaign stop in Medfield, Massachusetts. Despite Romney's obvious charm, he lost the election by a margin of 58% to 41%.

I'm no supporter of Romney, but contrary to the ideas written by Ms. Alana Horowitz, I don't see where he represented himself poorly or awkwardly. In fact, her piece and related video give the reader nothing whatever of value on which one could form an informed opinion. It's a total waste of time. Keep up the crappy writing, Alana!

Mitt could have learned by now that the more e campaigns the less people like him. He should do what Newt does - limit himself to no more than one bare-bones campaign office per state.

Desperate for any type of coverage then. Now, not so much. But, still sitting in the shadows with no core and no where to go.

Another bumbled headline. HP must do better than that. I don't claim to be some great thinker, but by the heavens, if this is what the majority of headlines become at HP I will stop commenting and just move on. I like intelligent discussion, and dumb headlines are a sure means to suppress that.

if this is what the majority of headlines become at HP I?



Answer: YES....

We've been complaining about it for years.....

We know to ignore the headlines for the most part and just read and comment by the written text instead........

Again: Yes...
This has been an ongoing problem and complaint......

Yeah, I would have watched it without the 'awkward' editorializaion. Kid is like 16 years old talking to a Senate candidate. Not too bad. Just par for the course.

Neat seeing someone young. I don't see the awkwardness, that' just some bad editorializing.

The scary thing is that he's still using EXACTLY the same sound bites.
