Okay, I just watched it, and that _is_ pretty bad. Mitt looks like that nerdy kid in school who finds himself surrounded by wisecracking bullies and keeps hoping like hell they won’t end up hitting him. ---

That’s it - I’m convinced - I’m changing my vote - Romney/Ryan 2012! I’m with Bill Maher on this, Romney will be soooooo much better for the comedy industry. 😃 ---

I would pay cash money to see Mitt sing the Eileen Foley part on “Paradise by the Dashboard Lights”. ---

He is the gag “1980 called, it wants its foreign policy position back!” personified. Hilarious. ---

Oh god, I just flashed on this “[Paradise by the Dashboard Light](https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9NTDHjVKQyo#t=395s)” concert performance, and mentally replaced Carla de Vito with Mitt Romney. I feel a little queasy. ---

I think it’s a bit. He supposedly said something like, “I called 3 Democrats in California the next day after that concert and convinced 2 of them to vote for Romney. And 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/meatloaf-and-mitt/639071.md?page=1)
