Whether it was an unlucky mistake of timing by bad make up, or true "tandering", this is the real thing, and as hilarious as Mitt Romney's campaign has been from the start.

They need to show the profile pix where you can see the makeup line clearly. Back of neck -- white. Front of neck -- orange. Or the close ups where you see the white around his ears.
