Mitt Romney vs. humans, 1994

Producer Mike Yarvitz finds this old tape of Mitt Romney running for U.S. Senate in 1994, against incumbent Senator Ted Kennedy. Mr. Romney didn't just get that cringe-worthy style yesterday.

"Hi, how are you? Don't run away. I want to shake your hand. I know, you haven't got your makeup on yet, right?" he says to a woman outside a store. "You do, you do."
