My roommate got a gig as a Mitt Romney impersonator. He posted a video or two on Youtube and got a call from a guy about doing gigs as Romney.

My roommate said yes and got flown out to D.C. He is headed to Florida next. And he was interviewed on CNN today.

Kinda cool. If Romney wins he will get a ton of gigs. Of course, if Romney wins 99% if the Straight Dope membership will have heart attacks, so there would be some bad to go with the good…

That’s pretty cool 🙂 And, he might stay in gigs anyway; do we have any reason to think Romney WON’T run 2016?
