Mitt Romney currently trails President Obama among registered Latino voters by nearly 40%, and getting caught saying things like "it would be helpful to be Latino" certainly isn't helping.
But has it gotten so bad that Romney is now resorting to "brownface" in order to make himself more appealing to Univision viewers? Democratic Underground has looked at the photo above from last night's "presidential forum" and concluded that, yes, Romney definitely "dyed his face brown."
Wonkette wonders if perhaps the GOP nominee was involved in some sort of "self-tanner accident" or perhaps went out tanning with John Boehner "for a little pick-me-up."
Mitt Romney is certainly looking more crispy than usual, but is that enough to call him out for, as Gossip On This put it, trying to win "browning points"? Maybe he's just putting his Snooki love to practice.
My laughs cannot be contained.
For clearerness:
Romney

I imagine he's been campaigning in the sun, no? Is this really something he should have to defend himself on?

I don't know man, that looks like a pretty fake spray tan job than an actual tan.
But hey, he's old and white so he'll look bad with a tan anyway. I'm actually starting to feel a little bad for the guy honestly. It's like watching a train crash in slow motion.

This is why you quit while you're ahead :)
Also, if you notice it's only his face tanned. If he was outdoors all day, you'd think there would be some tone on his ears or hands wouldn't you?

The back of his hand looks tanned too.
