(AP Photo/Jae C. Hong) Sounds like this presidential race could be decided at sea. Asked if he's as "hip" as Barack Obama, Mitt Romney said he'd skip out on golf with the president—but "I'll be happy to take him through a waterski course." Speaking on Fox News yesterday, he added, "we have different skills and different interests and different hobbies." The AFP calls it another "tone-deaf" comment emphasizing his riches, adding to a list that includes Romney's mentions of his wife's Cadillacs and his close friends who own NASCAR teams.
