Passenger Trains > Mitt Romney: On Amtrak California

Mitt Romney (R-CA) Rides Amtrak

One rainy morning this month, the man who thought he would be president boarded a train near his beach house in San Diego. He stepped off in Burbank, Calif., and caught a ride to a sound stage, where his on-again, off-again political consigliere, Mike Murphy, was waiting to shoot a commercial on a set that bore more than a passing resemblance to the Oval Office.

Looking and sounding like a president out of central casting, he nailed his lines. The crew called him “one-take Romney,” and before he departed, they swarmed, extending arms around his shoulders and angling their iPhones for pictures.

With that, Mitt Romney’s long winter was over.

It's interesting that, while California is viewed by some as bad for business, people keep moving there. Maybe it's the trains. There's no word on whether he was riding in Business Class, but it's now unquestioned he was a business traveler.
