Video: Romney must ?show more of his heart?

>> point let's bring in the rest of our political team, david gregory is here with us in the studio, moderator of "meet the press" and andrewia mitchell, veteran of political conventions is down on the floor of this one. andrea, starting with you, by how much have they been forced to ad lib their way through especially this format, their rundown?

>> reporter: already they are squeezing a lot of these speeches and they have to deal with oversized egoes and get them down to the size of the network productions from 10:00 to 11:00 prime time . they've already lost a day and a half and they know they have to accomplish that, but both republicans and democrats, we should point out, have a challenge, a political challenge here with this approaching storm especially for the republicans. no one here can easily forgot the iconic picture of president bush flying on air force one looking out the window and looking down at new orleans during katrina. they're not going to forget that but democrats also have to be sensitive. joe biden , the vice president canceled his plans to come to tampa and other cities in florida this week and sort of get in the face of the republicans. and the president leaving tomorrow for iowa, a three-day visit to battleground states , to college campuses, and he might have to cancel some of that as well.

>> all right, andrea mitchell on the floor, david gregory , let's talk about image. we just saw some of it.

>> yes.

>> in chuck todd 's setup piece, this is a family that's been forced to talk about their rightfully gained enormous wealth, having been successful in business, the garage for their cars at their home in la jolla , california, now comes this, but it's part of a package they want to promote and discuss with the american people .

>> you know, brian, i talked to republicans on the floor here and around this convention, giving some of himself, something that romney's got to do. that is the consensus. he's got to show more of his heart but there's also a recognition that he's not going to be able to beat back all of these negative images and at the same time he's not going to be able to be mr. inspirational, there's recognition the analogy i heard is the car mechanic nim. you may not love him, he may not light up the room but he can do to washington and fix things. that i think is going to be the master strategy. that's what romney wants to leave people not just here but people watching at home.

>> david gregory , andrea mitchell and chuck todd , thank you. our prime time coverage of this gop convention including ann romney 's speech to this gathering and chris christie 's keynote address, that begins tomorrow night, 10:00 eastern, 7:00 pacific, on this nbc station.
