Now that they're getting a little more comfortable with him, GQ prowled the convention last night looking for reasons the GOP likes him. They weren't allowed to say business experience.\n\n1) Kevin McCarthy, House GOP Whip: \"His character.\"\n\n2) Mitch Hubbard, delegate from Missouri: \"My favorite thing other than his business experience is his....committment...to a strong national defense.\"\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n 3) Katherine Vasilos, communications director for the Republican party of Arkansas (above): \"He's a man who loves his family, who loves his fellow man, and he is a true inspiration. He loves America and it's apparent in all he does, that's great for us.\"\n\n4) Rep. Tim Huelskamp, Republican from Kansas: \"I would say it's Ann. I'm sitting next to my wife, and I was emotional. The speaker [John Boehner] said he had a hard time during it too. I was really struck in the heart.
