Romney, now running for the presidency for the second time, is presenting himself as a much more conservative politician than he was back then. But Anderson said the candidate is hiding his true self, a charge common among Romney’s critics.
"I think I know the core of Mitt Romney," Anderson said. "I think he's a really decent person. I know his wife well; she'd probably be a Democrat if she wasn't married to Mitt. They're very warm people with great sense of humor. Mitt's a very straight Mormon. I think she's not quite as doctrinaire about that as he is. But, you know, doing the day-to-day work, I think Mitt's as smart as probably anybody that's ever been in the White House."
The two men's relationship was so close, in fact, that both Romney and Anderson cut television ads endorsing the other for public office.
