Mitt’s Just A Regular Guy

There's a Google Doc circulating among conservative websites written by Hal Prewitt who bought one of Mitt Romney's homes back in 2009. The doc, if you choose to read it, lauds Romney as a regular guy.

Ryan's one marathon on record, Grandma's Marathon 1990, has Ryan running a 4 hour and 1 minute marathon. Big difference.
