Romney talks about Nascar racing and fans...LOL

[This] should have been a chance to show he's one of the guys. Instead, in casual conversation with an Associated Press reporter at the Florida track, he reminded people once again that he is not exactly a regular Joe.

Asked by the AP reporter if he follows NASCAR, Romney responded,


"Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans.

But I have some great friends who are NASCAR team owners."


LOL!!!!!!

Not a clue. He's never been one of the guys except in the boardroom. He can relate to them. Us? Not so much.
