◼ Romney is, people who know him best say, a man who has performed acts of kindness over the years. But he won’t talk about it, and his campaign, which has studiously avoided highlighting his faith this cycle, makes little effort to fill out the page. - Maggie Haberman (@maggiepolitico)
...A high-level Romney backer said Romney “feels it’s unseemly to talk about that stuff. And it’s really hard for him to get around it. And I think he’s had to make compromises to deal with this process. … Do you know how much money he gives away? It’s enormous.”
The backer acknowledged there is “an overlay” in terms of concern about focusing attention on the church: “He doesn’t want to visit his publicity, his celebrity in a way that causes the church [scrutiny],” he said.
