Mitt Romney's Inner Bob Barker

The Republican debate reminded me of the old Sting lyric about politicians--"they all seemed like game show hosts to me." Actually not all of them. Just Mitt Romney. He's got the hair, the smile, the glibness, and the natural optimism of a guy who thinks everyone else is a sucker.

In fact, Romney should give up the presidential campaign right now and go to work as Bob Barker's replacement on "The Price is Right." Like Barker, Mitt could keep going with the show until he's in his 80's.

More important, Mitt would do much less harm than he would in politics.
