Romney refuses to get tougher: This is a campaign that’s not about character assassination

This is an interesting interview where CBS reporter Jan Crawford asks Romney about comments his supports have made to him on the rope line, imploring him to get ruthless and go on the attack. But Romney’s response is “this is a campaign not about character assassination…”

Crawford then pressed him on it again, asking him what he thinks people mean when they tell him to be more aggressive. He replied:

Some people say, you know, just be who you are. Others say get tougher, attack. And my own view is this. I’m going to be who I am and describe why I think I’m the person to become the next president of the United States and how my policies will make life better for American families.

And there’s more, including his reaction to the press. Watch the full interview below:
