“There were tears in my eyes, and there are again as I hear him say those words, but what I thought is I would really like my four children to be like that,” he said on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront…

“It was a time, a moment when the full weight of my decision, conscience, and conviction hit me as well,” Blumenthal said. “So when I watched Senator Romney say those words, I felt sincerity from him that I have rarely seen, unfortunately, on the floor of the Senate or in many other places from people in public life.”
