Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Sunday said Americans should “vote for the other guy” if they couldn’t related to him because of his enormous wealth. The former Bain Capital CEO on Friday noted that his wife drove two Cadillacs. It was just one of a number of gaffes that may make it hard for average Americans to relate to the candidate, who has a net worth of about $250 million. Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday ask Romney if he understood if he understood why “some voters would be put off by those things.” “You know, I can’t be perfect,” Romney replied. “I just am who I am. And I can tell you this, which is with regards to the cars we have, that’s something that was talked about last September. People asked us what vehicles we own, and we have a car that we have in California. We have a car that we have back in Boston where our other home is.” “So, that’s just the way it is,” he added. “If people think there is something wrong with being successful in America then they better vote for the other guy because I’ve been extraordinarily successful. And I want to use that success and that know-how to help the American people.”

Romney is right.
I'm voting for Santorum Tuesday. "Helped" three other elderly folks send in their absentee ballots Friday. Unions here are pushing big-time for a large Democratic turnout in support of little Ricky. Tuesday should be fun, indeed, as local polling calling the race 'to close to call'.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'! Ok Willard, It has nothing to do with your status as a gazillionaire/gordon gekko sort of guy. You're bringing nothing else to the table. Extreme right-wing social issues and the "anyone but the incumbent" has never worked. And - come November - remember that you just gave a sitting president, who will be your opponent, the most meaningful sound bite to have ever come out of your mouth......... IMHO
I intend to. I am voting for Ron Paul even if I have to write his name in.
Cock sure of himself, it's either him or a dem...we'll see.

Don't forget this quote from one of the early debates: "There are a lot of reasons not to elect me," Romney said. "There are a lot of reasons not to elect other people on the stage.”
Wouldn't it be funny if Santorum won then went on to defeat the illegal occupant of the White House.
Good Point
