So my wife and I have been wondering what the H is Romney's first name?  What's this Mitt stuff?  When I grew up, mitts were out on the baseball diamond.  We tried to think of how do you get to 'Mitt'.  Remitt? Permitt? Submitt? Or if you read Wonkette, they call him 'mittens'.  Was it short for Matthew?

Internet to the rescue.  It is his name, albeit his middle name.  His father gave him this name after one of his good friends.  So what's his real first name??   WILLARD.  Another gift from his father.  Willard Romney......hmmm.  I know what many of you are thinking.  Wasn't there some movie about a mouse (ha) with that name???   I guess he could have gone with Will.  I think I would have, if I didn't have such a classy name as Fishstick.
