Wow, the new Mitt Romney really is an easy-going kind of guy, huh?
During a campaign stop Tuesday morning at a New Hampshire diner, Romney posed for a photo with a group of four waitresses — and then melodramatically jumped up, joking that one of them had grabbed his posterior.
He then assured the women, who were indeed laughing about the whole thing, that he was just joking.
It is true that the voting public likes to see some sense of humor and personal familiarity from presidential candidates — but this might be a bit off the beaten path.
Here is the video of the event, courtesy of Chris Matthews on MSNBC:
