Oh, Mitt. WHO said you are awkward in front of humans? WHO said you don't know how to relate to people? Your love for CHEESY GRITS in the South didn;t bring the harvest of votes you'd hoped for, but I am CONFIDENT that your love of ILLINOIS PANCAKES will CERTAINLY put you over the top in THAT state.

(10,960 posts)Im looking forward to getting one of these pancakes. Can I get one of these on the way out? Not the super big one, I cant fit that in the vehicle, all right, Romney joked. The cars only a Chevy SUV.
The large breakfast crowd began to chant, "Tie it to the roof! Tie it to the roof!"
(Yes, I added that last sentence)

(30,885 posts)...I'd ask the owner "What's your biggest seller" and when they replied I'd say "I'll have one of those." No substitutions, no modifications.
ALTERNATELY, it would be pretty simple to do one's homework BEFORE visiting the restaurtant (that's why Romney has a "campaign staff" , and walk in ORDERING the "biggest seller" as if you were a "regular."
My secret wish is that he walks into a PA restaurant and says "I'll have one of those Philly Cheesy Steaks."
Lightning couldn't possibly stike twice...COULD IT?

(15,382 posts)His campaign staff needs to be fooled into taking him out for a traditional Chicago dog at the Wiener's Circle, where part of the experience is the staff cursing at you (including racial slurs) and treating you like shit.
Don't phone ahead. Just have him show up and show how off the cuff Romney really can be.

(21,925 posts)The Pakleds were nomadic scavengers who would steal or scam others out of their possessions and technology. Romney owns how many homes and calls how many states his home and how did he operate Bain capital? To the casual observer, the Pakleds appeared to be intellectually challenged and they played up their seeming ignorance but inside they were very cunning. Romney with his almost primitive statements about "food ... good" wherever he goes is trying to appear simple and ordinary (but admittedly not doing a very convincing job) but all the while he never plays his true hand unlike Santorum or Mr. Tiffany. And like the Pakleds who chose not to join Starfleet, Romney is unaligned, not really on anyone's side or any party's side, and mainly out for himself.

(100,076 posts)We have Romney - who is as the hip hop business would call him a "fake ass idiot", we Newt "Moon Colony" Gingrich, and American Taliban poster boy Rick Santorum. None of these clowns stand a chance against Obama.

(18,628 posts)I wonder just how big around the win margin was in Puerto Rico, or if he was even measuring the difference in diameter or overall mass?
His close win in Ohio could be measured in grapes, contrasting his baked potato sized loss in Mississippi.
