THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE

Oops:

At the fund-raiser for Mitt Romney at the posh 1818 Club [in Atlanta} on Friday, the candidate was making the introductions to the room.

Romney gestured to Ralph Reed and said, "Why it's good to see Gary Bauer here." (For the detached, Bauer is a former presidential candidate with ties, like Reed, to the Religious Right.)

Romney then caught himself. "Oh, I'm a little mixed up here,” he said. But Romney still couldn't place Reed's face -- and had to move on.

After the event, Romney approached Reed and apologized for misremembering him.

I guess wearing the Reagan mantle really is important to these GOP presidential candidates.
