"A straight-talking billionaire says exactly what a group of lined-pocket supporters want to hear, but what he doesn’t know is that the other 47% of the country is listening."
You gotta love the sly brilliance of this site, Rom Com 2012, which replays the current Romney campaign as variations on familiar rom-com paradigms ("A man. His country... apparently meant for each other, but kept apart by some complicating circumstances").
No need to add anything to this deft analysis by Think Progress blogger Alyssa Rosenberg. We await further photo-shopped poster fun, as more high jinks will undoubtedly ensue in the increasingly comedic days to come.
"An indecisive billionaire can’t quite figure out the right way to introduce himself to a group of people called 'America.'”
Great pictures, Billy -- especially of Mit Romney in the "50 First Dates."

Stay tuned for:
"Imagine Me & You" (no thank you)
"He's Just Not That Into You"
"10 Things I Hate About You"
"How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days"
and finally
"The Break-Up"
because I refuse to
"Just Go With It"

EC - The site keeps adding new ones. Funny stuff.
Scott: Great list - and RomCom 2012 really ought to be all over "He's Just Not That Into You": perfect.

The image of Ione Skye (whom I still have a crush on) in the arms of Mitt Romney really creeps me out.

Timothy there's something about Mitt's face, photo-shopped into almost anything, that's inherently creepy.

If this isn't a funny concept for a rom-com then I don't know what is:
Billionaire offers $64 million to any man who can seduce and marry his lesbian daughter.
