Mitt Romney 2012: Cartoon millionaire

Willard didn't win a single county in Missouri. He finished 30-odd points behind where he finished in Colorado in 2008. He finished third in Minnesota.

Willard Romney, who likely smells like a bank vault right after a delivery from the mint, is like something out of a political Issac Asimov novel, a poor robot trying to muscle in on territory best suited for humans but, no matter how remarkably life-like he is, never quite wins over the meat bags who still crave something human.

And Mitt is nothing like Richie Rich. He was invariably kind, generous, and somewhat embarrassed by his riches.

Raised in a Scottish orphanage for boys -- no inheritance there.

Like most cartoon characters, he outclasses Mittens.
