"I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be a Latino." -- Mitt Romney



I have to think he really believes what he said and followed-up with that at his Univision appearance by darkening his skin.

Romney's full comments on "being a latino" uncovered in the secret video:

"If my father had been born of Mexican parents I'd have a better shot at winning this. (laughter from him and wealthy donors) I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be a Latino."

He likely would not have grown up the son of an auto executive, and he sure as hell wouldn't have been the GOP candidate for president.

Now all he needs is to do is put on a big sombrero, grab a sarape, and go take a nap under a cactus.

That would really, really convince me....
