    What in the world are Mitt and Ann doing at the PacMan fight? Does anyone really believe that they are boxing fans?

      He can just stick to rapping with shock jocks on radio stations.
      Everything in life is an approximation.

        Sure, I believe it. Most of us are fans of a spectacle, and I hear a big-time boxing match is one of the best. You suppose they were there for some other reason?

          No, they look positively out of place. His words to Manny were puzzling. "Hello Manny, I ran for president. I lost." What the hell?

            They got done watching the Osmonds perform at the Flamingo at heard there was a boxing matching about to start down the road so they said "What the hay?" What else is an obscenely rich couple supposed to do at night in Vegas while a prize-fight is going on?


            It appears that everyone in the photo, and perhaps nearly everyone in the ring and watching on TV had the same reaction to that knockout, no?

              He is a lousy politician. He isn't liked by the mainstream media. He isn't like your average Joe.

              He is a winner in his business and personal life, but doesn't really have anything going for him that would make him a great President, like say Bill Clinton.

                I believe Mitt is a boxing fan. Why wouldn't he be? Do you people still believe the caricature that Obama's team so aptly painted of him?

                  Mitt's awkwardness isn't helping him.

                    I'm not a boxing fan but I would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to sit ringside of one of the best bouts in years if it presented itself.

                      In fairness to Mitt, if he went to a Polo match, he would get criticized. Damned no matter what he does.

                        Mitt's persona is easily mockable.

                          One of the little things that amuses me is looking at the faces on the screen when I pause the DVR. Most of the time, the actor is caught with an akward look or a humorous facial gesture. That's all that happened here, except it looks like a totally normal reaction to the KO. Nothing to see here.

                              Really? I'm not an island here. He strikes people as odd. No doubt he is brilliant but his social IQ is stunted.

                                Have you ever met him in person? I have and he's incredibly friendly and not awkward at all.
