A desperate RW attempt to humanize Romeny?

Two percent of Americans think Mitt Romney's real name is 'Gromit' from Nate Jones

"Mitt Romney may be the Republican presidential frontrunner, but does anybody know his real name?"
"--An additional two percent thought "Mitt" stood for "Gromit." If only! The world would be a much more whimsical place if our prominent politicians were named after cartoon dogs."

The whole cringe-worthy article is here:

inquisitive and don't read. Frankly, I think Obama and other prominent Dems should refer to Romney as Willard as often as possible. In many Americans' minds, especially those old enough to remember the movie, the name Willard is synonymous with rats.

To call him a stiff is too mild; he's a mechanical moneybot with the personality of stain-killing primer. Something just seems Stepford there, and that's not going to help him any.
