The true story of a real boy trying to become a puppet.

Yesterday Ann Romney said the general election campaign will “unzip” her husband to reveal just how not “stiff” Mitt actually is.

Echoing the “Etch A Sketch” comment from a few weeks ago, Mrs. Romney is suggesting we haven’t met the Mitt Romney yet.

As if suddenly, in August or September, he’s going to appear as a fully formed super Republican — Jesus “Rand” Reagan.

But why wait? Find out how well you know Mitt Romney now. Find out how well you know the guy you’ll be completely forgetting in September.
