A little political humor

If you know us, you know that we were (are!) ardent Mitt Romney supporters. A t Wednesday night’s Radio and Television Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., Governor Romney gave his “Top 10 Reasons for Dropping Out of the Presidential Race." And we especially like the less-than-subtle jabs at the Ds.

10. There weren't as many Osmonds as I thought.

9. I got tired of corkscrew landings under sniper fire.

8. As a lifelong hunter, I didn't want to miss the start of the varmint season.

7. There wasn’t room for two Christian leaders.

6. I was upset that no one had bothered to search my passport files.

5. I needed an excuse to get fat, grow a beard and win the Nobel prize.

4. I took a bad fall at a campaign rally and broke my hair.

3. I wanted to finally take off that dark suit and tie, and kick back in a light-colored suit and tie.

2. Once my wife Ann realized I couldn't win, my fundraising dried up.

1. There was a miscalculation in our theory: "As Utah goes, so goes the nation.”
