Romney afraid to face kids

Anybody in show biz will tell you that sharing a spotlight with kids is a dangerous act. They always upstage you with their damned cuteness. In politics, kids ask the toughest questions, so no surprise Romney was afraid to participate in Nickelodeon's program, "Kids Pick the President."

The premise of the show -- kids submit questions to each candidate and based on the answers they make their pick for leader of the free world.

Obama answered the kids' questions, but Romney said he didn't have the time.

Romney would have been forced to explain his educational "reform" scams and no doubt would have been asked why he wants to kill Big Bird. Besides, why would he bother with those little moochers. They can't even vote. [photo via]
