Mitt Romney is Forest Gump

How must it feel to be Mitt Romney? His inability to inspire conservatives to embrace him must be intensely frustrating. This is the nerd who asks a pretty girl to the prom, and gets a response that if the following three guys don't ask, THEN she'll go with the nerd.

If you've seen Forest Gump, then you'll remember that Forest was in love with Jenny. Forest is Mitt, Jenny is conservatives. Forest was good for Jenny. Everytime we checked in on her, she was dating a musician, dating a biker, whatever - anyone but Forest. As much as she knew Forest was good for her, she ran after every flavor of the day.

Even after Forest and Jenny had sex (and conceived), Jenny took off for God-knows-where.

Well, eventually Jenny realized it was time to come home to Forest.

And then she died in his bed.

What does that mean? I don't know.
