Are you new? Something about you seems different than the people who normally work here.
I can honestly say, of all the presidential candidates I’ve ever met, you’re the first.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who can see this guy. Is it just me or did a rich, white guy just appear?
Psst…guess where my other hand is?
Psst…I don’t know what your advisers have been telling you, but three Hispanics and a black guy working at a fast food joint might not be your target demographic.
I’m so glad the four of us will have this picture as a memento of the guy we didn’t vote for.
Every time I see this guy I end up fired.
You’re not going to use this picture as evidence that you have some ethnic friends, are you?
Hey, have you already selected your cabinet secretary of fast food?
Psst…tell me how Mad Men ends.

I was definitely fooled. I lent his cardboard cut-out $50 dollars.

Such a funny photo. Love your captions! And speaking of captions, did you come up with the finalists or is the verdict still out? Maybe I missed the post…

I was FP’d over the weekend and more people entered the caption contest. I decided to wait until this weekend to announce the finalists.

Awesome captions! One of the first ever times Romney wandered into a kitchen where the “help” resides. He looks painfully out of place.

I’m surprised he didn’t try to darken up his skin a bit to blend in more with his demographic of the day, like he did for that Latino TV interview…

A YouTube clip of Mitt doing the Oppan-Gangnam-Style dance would put him over 51%.

Talk about a photo bomb. BTdubs, you could easily devote yourself to writing captions for Romney photos for the rest of the election.

I wonder if there’s a caption-creating position in the Romney campaign.

I’m sorry, but he is in a Chipotle. What did he order for lunch? “I love ethnic food. I’ll take a water, not make that an ‘agua’ and a napkin.”

I haven’t had the water at Chipotle yet. I’ll have to try it.

This looks an awful lot like a one-man caption contest. Say… what of the previous, several-man-and-womaned caption contest? No finalists?
The Good Greatsby
October 6, 2012
I decided to extend it after I was FP’d on a post that featured a link to the contest. I got a lot more submissions and didn’t want to cut it off. I’ll announce finalists on Monday morning.

Yes, context makes all the difference: the fourth caption here — “pst – guess where my other hand is ” comes after three comments seemingly attributed to the ‘black guy.’ So the reader thinks the writer means…?
And as any of the four could be saying this…. Can this be what they mean by a runaway caption?
The Good Greatsby

I’m hoping readers know me well enough to assume I had the best of intentions.

Fantastic! As a Brit I clearly have very little involvement in the Presidential ‘flamewar’, though I have to say that watching it from a distance has been wholly worthwhile, and very, VERY entertaining.

It will be wholly worthwhile as long as it has a happy ending.

I can’t blame poor Mitt from walking in so casually. With the handful of latino kitchen staff hanging out in the kitchen he probably thought he was at home. Honest mistake that I am sure has happened to most of us at some point.
