Political Planning Conference-Who’s on First?

March 2, 2012 By Andrew Maxwell Comments

A political planning conference can be a hard task at the best of time. Throw in candidates that just don’t seem to be connecting with their party’s base and that planning conference can take on a whole new life of its own. Unfortunately there seems to be no end to the GOP leadership debates. I’m getting so used to them that I am starting to expect my regular television shows not to be on because of these debates. Talk about a planning conference!

The following video portrays a real-life debate performance by Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich however the voiceover is from an old Abbott and Costello skit classic “who’s on first”. Unfortunately for the political candidates, but fortunately for us, this is a perfect pairing for audio and video.
