For Romney impersonator, the face is familiar




By Alana Semuels, Los Angeles Times

The campaign that could put Mitt Romney in the White House might also be the break Mike Cote has been waiting for his whole life.

Cote, a 56-year-old drywall finisher from Ogunquit, Maine, has found that with a little dye on his eyebrows and in his hair, he looks a lot like the Republican presidential candidate.

Cote starred as Romney in the "Rombo" ad paid for by the Rick Santorum campaign, and played him in a yet-to-be-aired reality TV show in which presidential impersonators live in a house together. (Fake Sarah Palin created drama by mistaking sleeping pills for allergy medication.)

But then I don't know how old that photo is. Normally I can tell from the pixels.
