"I'm Mitt Romney and yes, Wolf, that's also my first name."
WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney fibbed about his real first name in a bid for laughs at Tuesday night's debate — and immediately fed criticism he'll say anything to get elected.CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer opened the debate by asking candidates to introduce themselves. "Here's an example of what I'm looking for: ‘I'm Wolf Blitzer and yes, that's my real name.'"
Romney couldn't help himself in going for a quick laugh. "I'm Mitt Romney and yes, Wolf, that's also my first name," he said to dead silence from the audience.
That wasn't the worst of it: Romney's real first name is Willard — Mitt is his middle name.
