You didn’t seriously think we’d get past Super Tuesday without some sort of political headline making its way across this blog, did you? The New York Times reports on Republican Mitt Romney’s campaign, and the final paragraphs illustrates a candidate fishing for the all-important Star Wars fan vote.
Mr. Romney has been making more of an effort to cultivate the news media as part of his refashioned candidacy. When he sauntered back onto a flight on Saturday, he broke the ice with an unusual remark.
“What did they say in ‘Star Wars?’ ” he asked. “What’s that line? ‘There’s nothing happening here. These droids aren’t the droids you’re looking for.’ ”
Eric Fehrnstrom, his traveling press secretary, said it had actually been rendered: “These are not the droids you are looking for.”
“These are not the droids you’re looking for,” Mr. Romney said. “Sorry.”
Actually, it’s “aren’t.” Fanboy points off for inaccuracy.

That settles it. He aint the candidate I’m looking for.
Good thing he is losing. Lets hope McCain can trick hillary into quitting…
“Move along, Mitt. Move along!”
Okay, Romney’s not my candidate (good thing too, as he’s just dropped out), but as far as the furor over these misquotations, all I can say is, “Picky, picky, picky!!!”
You mean mindtrick Hillary, right?
After seeing Mike Huckabee pop up on Colbert and play hockey puck, I’m thinking that Huckabee is probably the best choice for the geek vote.
hehe. oh that Romney. Too bad he dropped out. he was a canidate.
We who have followed in the ways of the force must be strong not to be draw into the darkside by allowing political diatribe to cloud our thoughts. Our form of Government is very poor; however, it is better than what is in second place.
Remember that the Sith Lord was representative of a fanactic religous group.
mormons are not the sith, nor are they a “fanactic religous group.”
Yes they are. The rebels are mormons.
to skykiller-You sir are an idiot! We must never let religion cloud our view of the Force! and thumbs up to antilles, I agree with you.
