Mitt Romney is throwing an unusual contest. After his thuggy aides tried to drive people away by pretending to be police officers, Romney would like to bring the masses a little closer to him.
Contestants will write 100 words or less about why they want to spend time on Romney's tour bus. The three best essayists (or fawners, whatever) will get to hang out with Romney for a day and watch him kiss babies all over America.
If you want to party on with Romney, the deadline is 11:59 on September 30. And if you write any spoofs, a la Slate with the Romney video mashup contest, let us know!

Dear Mitt,
I want to spend time on your bus because I liked the way you were a little bit not totally against gay marriage that time, but you weren't all "in our face" about it. That was awesome. I also think that you would be fun to travel with, because when you were governor, you went away a lot. PS, I promise not to make fun of your Gs. Gs are cool by me.
Love,
Vidalia
