WBUR’s Monica Brady-Myerov joins us with the latest from the GOP convention in Tampa. Former Gov. Bill Weld spoke to the Massachusetts delegation on Tuesday.

Gov. Weld called Romney purposeful and methodical and everything you’d want in a chief executive. And Weld says, Romney has a tremendous sense of humor.

"We’ve spend quality time with him and know him to be a hugely enjoyable and yes likeable person and it's going to be impossible for the country not to get that sense."

Weld also praised Romney's sense of responsibility, and told reporters he'd welcome a post working in a Romney white house
