So he can afford a good joke writer? Yeah, color me impressed.

Democrats are still bummed that they can't run against this cylon in the general. Obama could lip-lock with Jeremiah Wright and win 40 states anyway.

Mitt Romney writes his own jokes, for better or worse.

You haters on this board should go for a nice walk on this beautiful spring day and see if you can't remember what it is like to be human.

It was a pretty funny top 10. Very good stuff. Romney got pretty self-deprecating and the press clearly enjoyed the guy.
He probably was the best the Republicans had in 2008 and got snarled up in trying to move his image as a nice guy and a smart fixer of things to a God-fearin' conservative the Base would love...but didn't out of religious bias and having a real Southern Preacher to split votes with...
Liked his one about his wife Ann got convinced he couldn't win and forced his withdrawal as his fundraising dried up. I laughed at most of them, especially his quest to get fat, grow a beard, and seek the Nobel..(The inside joke is Romney HAS been nominated by some in the biz world for an economics Nobel based on him being in a group at Bain Capital that developed new, successful fiscal turnaround theories now in common practice.. )
