BOSTON—A pickup-driving image helped put Scott Brown in the U.S. Senate, so is Mitt Romney hoping it will drive him him to the White House?

The 2008 Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor drove a beat-up pickup to a New Hampshire fundraiser Thursday night. He's also driven it to other political events as he weighs another run in 2012.

Spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom (FERN'-strum) says Romney has owned the Chevy since 2002 and uses it for errands around his New Hampshire lakeside vacation home.

Fehrnstrom says Romney isn't trying to emulate Brown or his upset victory in January, when he claimed the seat held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Fehrnstrom says if Romney runs again, the preferred mode of travel will be the "Mitt Mobile" -- the RV his sons drove across the country in 2008.

That pic can't be "the RV"?

Is the pic supposed to be the "beat-up pickup truck" ??

To Romney, a "beat-up pickup truck" is one that the servant hasn't put the daily coat of ArmorAll on the tires.

Sorry, that is the “beat-up pickup.”

I believe I have my political props confused.

A Chevy, yeah right, this is going to go over real good with the conservatives, not. Typical Rino, in denial that there is problems in our government, probably doesn't see anything wrong with our government bailing out GM and Chysler. I wonder if Government Motors has been having secret meetings with it to incourage him to do it.

I suggest he add a red checked flannel shirt and and exclamation point as part of his first name, thus: Mitt!

Worked for Lamar!

What?, Oh, it didn’t?

Maybe voters can spot a phoney elitist when they see one.
