Politico reproduces a rather odd political endorsement:

Did you know Mitt Romney’s baby handling skills may be a big help in Mississippi? So says Gov. Phil Bryant, who endorsed Romney Thursday.

And he looks like he’s held a baby before,” Bryant said.

For the record, here are pictures of Mr Romney and President Obama with babies.  Holding them.  Readers are invited to decide which they prefer.
