Mitt Romney
Former Republican Governor W. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) encountered a bump on the road to the White House during the 2008 race. WHO Radio host Jan Mickelson invited the former governor to reconcile for the audience his previous official pro-choice position with his faith. This is the video that became famous for allegedly employing a "hidden camera".
So says Mr. Romney to Katie Couric: There was a radio talkshow host the other day in Iowa that began drilling me about my faith. And I became intense in confronting what he had said. And we went back & forth. Unbeknownst to me, he had a hidden camera on the console. So this, then, popped up on the Internet, as our exchange. And I was intense. I wasn't angry, I wasn't out of control. But I was intense. I didn't lose my temper. I expressed my views directly and forthrightly.

Romney on supposed hidden camera: "I'm not here to talk about Mormonism"
Sadly for Mr. Romney, the race for the White House is left for the history books, failing now two bids, but we still have these memories to cherish. He must have felt that his business acumen and war chest would be enough, but our getting acquainted proved more powerful than his resolve.
