Romney Shows Sense of Humor

WASHINGTON (CNN) —

At Wednesday night’s Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner in Washington, D.C., former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney gave his “Top 10 Reasons for Dropping Out of the Race":

1. There weren't as many Osmonds as I thought.
2. I got tired of corkscrew landings under sniper fire.
3. As a lifelong hunter, I didn't want to miss the start of the varmint season.
4. There wasn’t room for two Christian leaders.
5. I was upset that no one had bothered to search my passport files.
6. I needed an excuse to get fat, grow a beard and win the Nobel prize.
7. I took a bad fall at a campaign rally and broke my hair.
8. I wanted to finally take off that dark suit and tie, and kick back in a light-colored suit and tie.
9. Once my wife Ann realized I couldn't win, my fundraising dried up.
10. There was a miscalculation in our theory: "As Utah goes, so goes the nation.”
