Republican Mitt Romney took the White House race into uncharted waters, suggesting he would like to challenge President Barack Obama to a bit of waterskiing.
"I don't think I'll play the president a round of golf but I'll be happy to take him through a waterski course," the presumptive presidential nominee said on Fox News on Thursday when asked whether he was as "hip" as the commander-in-chief.
"We have different skills and different interests and different hobbies," said the former Massachusetts governor and multimillionaire venture capitalist.

It was a little before my time and we never had a TV so I’m only repeating what I’ve read but isn’t that where ‘jump the shark’ comes from..
I am beginning to understand how the Democrats must have felt when they were running Dukakis. Especially when he rode around in that tank.

Romney is Dukakis without the unibrow.
Not gonna happen.
ACtually, on second thought, perhaps paintball?
Or maybe juggling chainsaws, who can juggle the most for the longest time.
What was that John Wayne movie where they took turns hitting each other to see who the last mans standing would be?

Are you thinking of McLintock? Wayne was telling the uncle there would be no hitting below the belt, no nose twisting etc before he fought Patrick Wayne? Great movie.
Romney doesn’t golf? Big shot business guy ultimate rich white man Romney doesn’t golf?
Everything is seemingly spinning out of control!
I wish they’d challenge each other to a duel....with sub-machine guns
Yeah, Thanks.
Who wouldn’t enjoy seeing Willard and The One going at it like that?
I am *REALLY* dreading when he does the obligatory “I am a hunter” bit.

It was Jimmy the Greek's idea.
It looks like he got to be a pretty good shot with a .22 shooting pests & varmints on a ranch:

I’ve hunted duck, dove, pheasant and quail but I doubt you find many big-game hunters in this vicinity. Deer and elk, sure. Maybe some moose and bear hunters up north.
I’m not shilling for him but let’s try to be fair, this isn’t DU. He knows not to look down the business end of a barrel (algore) or to arrange a wild goose hunt, like Kerry.
And the article mentions he’s been educated on what an “assault rifle” actually is, and isn’t. So maybe he’s trainable.
Romney better watch out before Zer0 counters him with a game of race baiting.
So, now Romney is Channing Tatum’s character in the 21 Jump Street? Mmkay.
At first I read it as water boarding. I’d pay a $100.00 bucks on pay per view to see that. $110.00 if they had to chug a quart of Ensure.
Grow up, Romney! Debates are what we need. We need an adult here, not another spoiled man-boy.
“I don’t have time to play golf” - That would have been a better answer.
