Bill Clinton "Prom King," Mitt Romney "hassled student council president."
A picture-perfect family, a resume of Olympic proportions, and an impressively thick mane of hair have prompted no small number of observers to call Mitt Romney a "slick" or "polished" candidate. It may be true that his opinions on big-ticket items -- like terror and taxes -- usually appear well-cultivated and TV-ready. But bumps along the campaign trail are showing more and more that Romney might not be as smooth as his coiffe might have you believe...

... no setting more dramatically illustrated the roughness around Romney's edges last week than the one that pitted him against the man who made "Slick" his own. Romney appeared in the same Fourth of July parade in Clear Lake, IA, that featured Bill and Hillary Clinton. While the widely grinning Bill worked the parade crowd at a glacial pace, pausing for hugs and friendly chatter with adoring fans, Romney wasn't as smooth. He hustled down the line, breathlessly repeating general shouts of "Happy Fourth of July!" If Bill played the role of prom king, Mitt looked more the part of hassled student council president.

4. He supports torture and bombing Iran. And wants to double Gitmo. I hope he doesn't see this, since
he'll probably kick the dog, when he finds out shain from kane doesn't like him.

5. Oh but he is good looking and a born Rich person....
That automatically makes him more vital than a self made man from the wrong side of the tracks like Clinton...

6. Mitt Romney is just like his Pug foes, a total sociopath who cares

nothing for the people. One thing about Bill Clinton that is and has always been clear is that he really likes people. He relishes communing with the populace.
