(CBS News) When House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, endorsed Mitt Romney for president in April, he pledged to do "everything I can to help him win."

In his words, however, the one thing he can't do is make voters "fall in love" with the candidate.

Speaking last week at a fundraiser in Wheeling, W.Va., Boehner was surprisingly candid in his characterization of Romney's candidacy when asked, in a question-and-answer session: "Can you make me love Mitt Romney?"

"No," he answered, as first reported by Roll Call. "Listen, we're just politicians. I wasn't elected to play God. The American people probably aren't going to fall in love with Mitt Romney."

1. Translation: "Not even we like him, and we're his biggest supporters"

I think the Republican turnout in November is going to be pitiful.

3. Not going to count on that

I'll believe that when I see it.

2. In the Twilight Zone Episode "The Lonely", Jack Warden fell in love with a robot

He was stranded on a lonely asteroid and given a robot replica of a female to keep him company. This episode should be made required viewing at Republican focus groups to show how it's done.

4. I don't want to give ideas to the private prison industry

But maybe if we could get fembots for Republicans, it would keep them occupied for a while.
