The thing about that “Rombo” ad is that it paints Romney as sort of a goof ball caracature. They should continue this with other ads using the same actor portraying Mitt doing stupid things. Then when folks see the real Mitt, they immediately compare him to the goof ball and no one will take him seriously. Eventually Mitt becomes the actor in the ads. No one wants to vote for a cartoon. Perfect.

Chevy Chase did this same damage to Gerald Ford back during the classic SNL days.

Exactly. That is why campaign Romney is back on its heels big time today.
