Of all the telling things said about Mitt Romney's night accepting the Republican nomination in Tampa on Thursday, the most interesting came from Paul Gigot, the terrific editor of the Wall Street Journal opinion page. He wrote in the Wall Street Journal's online blog:
"Those testimonials about Romney in the last hour were impressive and moving. I cover politics for a living, and I didn't know those stories. Can you imagine if they had been about, say, Bill Clinton? They would have been in books, media profiles and probably a TV movie five years ago. Romney's modesty has probably hurt him."
