Has Mitt Romney ever cut his own lawn?
I mean his dad was a governor and he founded Bain when he was pretty young with BYU and Harvard in between. I would love to see him asked that in a debate when he is the nominee, it would really show just how disconnected he is from the average Joe. I also think it is why he is so awkward around regular people. He's never done a day of real manual labor a day in his life. He can't relate to that world at all. He is scion of wealth and privilege.

3. didn't someone else have that kind of moment regarding the price of milk?
was it mccain? That would be a pretty interesting question for any candidate. I would really have loved a survivor type reality show with the republican candidates. That could be one of the challenges.... mowing lawn or washing dishes or shoveling snow..... stuff regular people do.

4. He'll probably cut his own throat before he cuts his own lawn.
But he IS concerned by the appearances and possible political consequences of others' finding out if and when an undocumented worker cuts his lawn.

5. Actually I would bet that he did as a kid
That is one thing about the Mormon culture, they are great believers in the concept of hard work, and they usually have their kids do daily chores such as that type of thing.

6. I'll bet that's how he made his millions! Mowing lawns around the neighborhood.

12. Some, but not all. With Mitt, don't be surprised when the millionaire trumps the Mormon
I mean, seriously, the dude did his missionary work in the French Riviera. That's not a joke; it's actually where he was posted for his missionary duty. Almost certainly dad had to pull some strings to get Mittens that sweet a gig.
