They say his temperament contrasts that of Newt to the point where the NRO thinks Newt should do what he asked of Santorum just a couple of months ago: pull out.

Mitt's acceptance speech was spot on. I think we will see snippets of it all the way to November. He went after Obama in a way the ordinarily-informed voter could understand. He was witty, confident and direct. He used anecdotes and belittled the Obama bumper sticker mindset. He threw Obama's rhetoric back in his face.
