Mitt should put an empty chair on stage for some of his stumps. Don't mention it until the audience focuses on it. Then have a series of throw away lines available:

"Just being fair and balanced," etc.

The campaign has mentioned that Mitt was a youthful prankster and Ann says he made - and still makes - her laugh, but we haven't seen that humanizing side. The jokes don't have to all be great. Poor ones are more likely to be reported - and to remind us of cringeworthy ones our own fathers made. So long as he doesn't pull an Akins there's little downside. Everyone knows he's serious enough when necessary, but more need to connect with him.

Then, when the schtick starts to become old they put a baby's high chair on stage.

"He had a tee time, so sent the understudy."
