‘Presidential Looking’ Cat Mistaken for Mitt Romney

‘Presidential Looking’ Cat Mistaken for Mitt Romney

A cat in Tampa, FL named Smokey was today mistaken for Republican nominee for U.S. President, Mitt Romney.  The cat was reportedly minding his own business at a cafe downtown, when a throng of GOP supporters and journalists descended upon him.

“He just looked so presidential sitting there reading the New York Times, we were sure it was him,” said Anne-marie Hayhurst, who was in town for the Republican National Convention.  "We asked for an autograph and it wasn’t until his signed his name ‘Smokey’ that I realized it was a cat and not Mitt Romney.“

Political pundits often talk about a candidate’s ability to "look presidential” as an important factor when predicting close races.  Of course this particular cat’s ability to look like a commander-in-chief has no bearing what-so-ever on whether candidate Romney can project that image.
