No matter where it rises, the Sun will melt Mitt's plastic hair

I'm paraphrasing Mitt Romney here, but this is essentially what he just said:

"For years, the leaders in Washington have looked for the Sun to rise in the East, with the media elites at the Times, the Post, and the broadcasters on the coast. But now, it's time to look for the Sun in the West, from Arizona and Alaska!"

My first thought: The Sun sets in the West. Are you saying the Sun is setting on America, Mitt?

My second thought: If he means that if McCain/Palin win in November, then the Sun will rise in the West, surely that's a sign of the Apocalypse, right?
