Ask them, "Who do you think picked Romney as your Republican presidential candidate?"
The ones I know actually think they picked him. When they say that I laugh in their faces until they ask me why I am laughing and then they ask who I think picked Romney.
Stay coy for a while. Wait until they get real persistent about who you think picked Romney.
Then just say, "The Obama Campaign picked him."
Then drop it and change the subject and let them think about that for a while.

(8,556 posts)Not that they are sweating the Mittster all that much. It was a very weak field. But can you imagine one of those two at the top of the ticket? Santorum's got more whacked out views than Romney and Newt has a worse past. As bad a candidate as Romney is, I think either of those two would have been even worse.
