Remember when Mitt Romney pelted Rick Santorum with paintball in the primary ad "Rombo"?
Well, shockingly, it wasn't Romney himself but, instead, one Mike Cote.
Cote is suddenly in demand as a Romney impersonator, but there's one problem -- he can't talk like him, BUT... he says, "We're going to be crazy busy once I get the voice down."
Cote said he is hoping to parlay his experiences into a career impersonating Romney, but he is having trouble deepening his voice and getting rid of his thick New England accent.
.... "We're going to be crazy busy once I get the voice down. Guys like [former Arkansas Gov. Mike] Huckabee are just waiting for me to come on their show," Cote said.
Dustin Gold, Cote's manager, said there are many hurdles ahead for his client.
"This is going to be a challenge," Gold said. "We're taking a drywaller, trying to turn him into a country club guy."
Here's the ad, which ran in February.
And here was Romney's response soon after -- in which he, rather hilariously, called the ad "the most negative ad I've seen, so far."
