I don't think 'ol Mitt gets it. At this stage of a political campaign aren't candidates supposed to put on their jeans (after they buy some), roll up their sleeves, and mingle with the common folk? Mitt managed to pull off the first two, but it's the "mingling" part that seems to be giving him fits.
He's in Michigan, blue collar heaven, and he tells a group of auto workers that he drives American-made cars, and that his wife drives a Cadillac, TWO actually. And when asked if he followed NASCAR, he replied, a little, he's not really an expert, but several of his best friends OWN NASCAR teams.
Well boy howdy! Pull up a stool, Mitt, and have a cold one with us. Or maybe he has one of those false labels he can wrap around his bottle of Dom Perignon to make it look like a bottle of Boone's Farm. I'd suggest one of those little round cans of Skoal for his back pocket, too. Yep, "A Man of the People". That's Mitt. *Some Grey Poupon for your hot dog, sir?*

Mitt is not and has never been a "man of the people." I don't blame it on his wealth; President Kennedy was certainly rich, but by trying to be all things to all people he only succeeds at becoming a political wind sock.
