10. Romney's Mexico comment is about as LAME as Palin claiming she can see Russia from her window.

Palim 'claimed' her foreign policy expertise was because she could 'See Russia from my window' simply because hundreds of miles from where she lived a remote part of Alaska shares a maritime border with a remote part of Russia.

So really, we're suppose to believe that Romney has some sort of connection to the Hispanic community because this very white family opted to escape USA polygamy laws and live in a remote compound on Mexican soil?
