what enables a man to move forward into a ma-strom or flying steel and flame, the mere words ins which commander shapes the orders to do, the knowledge that the others move forward count on him to be in his place, a sense of pride that will not let him do less than his friends or leave them with e simple consciousness that this is going to be done, and it is his time do it, whatever it is, whether we name it courage, sense of duty, bravery, or simply guts, it is there, and they go and get it done. in the vietnam fight, many americans have been awarded the medal of honor. in the combat zone, you will find the face of courage casually worn any way you care to look. and so the honor is doubly great for those who, from among the brave, are singled out. in one sense, these medals are no more than stylized bits of metal but in another, more fundamental sense, they are the tangible representation of a priceless intangible. this, then, is in celebration of that something in man which is both indefinable and under -- un -- undeniable. for this, the hall of heroes exists. to say to all who come

that's why the etch a sketch comment by eric fern strom got so much tracks. if you want to conceptuallyize moisture does mitt romney have, the short answer is enough to build an elevator for a garage. it is the shorthand ways campaigns try to avoid of being caricatured. that's the problem here. romney has been called rich before. this is just something that you can mock him on and it's just material for late night comics. >> and let's talk a little bit about how the polls are sort of reacting or not reacting. but evidence of how this stuff may be undermining his popularity. a "washington post" abc news poll shows mitt romney's favorability is tanking among all adults. favorables at 34%, unfavorables at 50%. the more we see of mitt romney, the less the american public seems to like him. >> part of that is going through an expended protracted presidential primary season. the example i've written about it before and others brought it up, i can't think of a single nominee who was more damaged by the primary season than bill clinton in 1992. his favorable image wa
