Mitt Romney delivered what was billed as a major economic speech today in Detroit but it mostly fell flat, The Hill reports. "Television cameras showed rows of empty chairs as Romney rehashed many of the policies and quips he'd used in previous speeches, made a few jokes that appeared to fall flat with the audience and said that his wife, Ann, drove 'a couple of Cadillacs,' which will likely give Democrats more ammunition for their depiction of him as rich and out of touch."
But this is priceless: "'That's my family leading the applause,' he said quickly, although no one was clapping, then laughed again. No one appeared to laugh with him."
