Mitt Romney
(R) Presidential Candidate

Rene Marsh
Washington

--LEAD IN --
Mitt Romney is wrapping up his six state bus tour.
He's been hitting the President hard on the economy during his speeches.
But we are also seeing another side of the presidential candidate.
Rene Marsh has the story.

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --
MITT ROMNEY ... A POLITICIAN... BUSINESSMAN ... AND NOW, A BAKER?
IT'S A SIGHT WE ARE NOT USED TO SEEING.
ROMNEY DONNING AN APRON... MAYBE HESITANTLY.
pink aprons i don't do ... this one will work
AND MAKING A PIE .... ADDING A PINCH OF PERSONALITY.
I like cherry pie, blueberry pie and rhubarb... not a fan of strawberry
DURING HIS FIVE DAY BUS TOUR - ROMNEY IS SHOWING OFF A LIGHTER SIDE.
HE LEFT A NOTE FOR REPORTERS ON THE PRESS BUS - JOKING HE HAD ERASED THEIR HARD DRIVES.
WITH THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE EXPECTED TO BE CLOSE -
ROMNEY MAY BE TRYING CLOSE THE FAVORIBILITY GAP AS WELL.
A CNN/ORC POLL FOUND 56 PERCENT HAVE A FAVORABLE OPINION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA.
ROMNEY'S AT 48 PERCENT.
--REPORTER ON CAM TAG --
ROMNEY'S WIFE ANN HAS OFTEN BEEN ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TRYING TO MAKE HER HUSBAND SEEM MORE IN TOUCH WITH THE AVERAGE AMERICAN.
BUT NOW - WE ALSO MAY GET TO SEE ROMNEY'S HUMAN SIDE MORE OFTEN.
IN WASHINGTON, I'M RENE MARSH, BACK TO YOU.
