Who let Mitt Romney out? Who? Who? Who?
If nothing else, Mitt Romney has provided a great amount of comic relief in this election. Mitt has waffled, he has flipped, he has flopped. Two weeks ago, he even flipped his flops.
When all of the other candidates were talking about change, Mitt was there to insist that HE was the "candidate of change." ""If there's ever a time we needed to see change in Washington, it's now" Mittens told a crowd in Iowa.
Change, Mitt? We all know you haven't even changed the part in your hair since high school.
Day in and day out, the Romney campaign has scanned the news for daily buzzwords, and sent Mitt out as the candidate for the economy, the candidate for the Iraq War, the candidate to get tough on immigration.
Perhaps the most bizarre moment in Romney's campaign was when he won Michigan.
"Tonight marks the beginning of a comeback — a comeback for America," Mr. Romney told cheering supporters in Southfield, Mich., a suburb of Detroit.
These are the moments in political comedy that writers cannot create, folks. In one single solitary moment, we had Mitt Romney channeling Hillary Clinton, channeling Bill Clinton. IF THAT wasn't enough, he went one step further, and even stole Barack Obama's campaign song, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered."
It was the most bizarre moment, that is, until MLK Day.
You're missing a golden opportunity, Mitt! There's only one chance for you to win this election. You've flipped and flopped all over the place, so what would one more hurt?
It's time to declare yourself the FIRST BLACK WOMAN PRESIDENT!
Frankly, it's just as believable as Mitt being the candidate for change, the candidate for the economy (see the soaring costs of Massachusetts' Romney Care), or the candidate for puppies and ice cream, or whatever else you're pushing today.
Mitt! You go, girl!
A small part of me (very small) is actually pulling for Mitt Romney. A Romney Presidency would mean, if nothing else, the best political comedy since we had Dan Quayle to kick around.
Which reminds me, Mitt, please spell P-O-T-A-T-O.
