Romney Goes on the Air with Hannity

In a half-hour call in interview with Sean, Bay Stater parries accusations he's not a true conservative: "I don't know on which issue I'm not conservative." Continues: "I may not be as incendiary or outlandish in rhetoric as some have been in the race...but I think, in the final analysis, people want someone who is stable, solid." Listen to Romney defend his conservative record and sell his electability below.

[audio http://markhalperin.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/hannity2.mp3] Touts private sector experience, outside image: "I'm not as skilled a political pundit as you might imagine." Romney: "If I'm effective in communicating my message to the American people, I'll get the nod in the final analysis." Predicts President will have "tough sell" in Nevada: "Nevada continues to suffer by virtue of economic policies that did not work." Buries the hatchet on Perry's praise for Pastor Jeffress: "His final answer, which came at the debate, was what we had been looking for."
