Of course, he didn't. It's another of his made-up statements that he uses to fit a given situation.
As for politicians crying - it's interesting that Ed Muskie was pilloried and ridiculed for appearing to cry during his presidential campaign against Nixon:
"Muskie made an emotional defense of his wife in a speech outside the newspaper's offices during a snowstorm. Though Muskie later stated that what had appeared to the press as tears were actually melted snowflakes, the press reported that Muskie broke down and cried, shattering the candidate's image as calm and reasoned."

Thus, Romney claims he cried because he just loves the less-valient-in-the-preexistence so much...
