For example, at the start of the campaign, Romney touted a plan with 150 pages and 59 policy ideas to boost the economy.

"This is the businessman candidate," Stewart says. "He's gone from having a 59-point economic plan to magic. Don't worry, all this country needs is a little shot of vitamin Mitt. ... It's like he's Charlie from Flowers for Algernon, and the serum is wearing off."
