Romney vs. Obama: Who Is More Kardashian-Like?

Feeling confident and looking to show off his pop culture bonafides, Mitt Romney, in a speech in Iowa on Sunday, compared President Obama with reality star Kim Kardashian.

"I've been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama, then candidate Obama, going through Iowa making promises," the GOP candidate said. "I think the gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I've seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of til death do we part."

He was, of course, referring to Kim Kardashian's 72-day marriage, which dissolved after great fanfare earlier this year. Whether he realized it or not, Romney's comment was particularly pointed given the President's previously professed dislike for the family's TV series.

Now that the Kardashians have become a campaign issue, it is in the public interest that we compare just how Obama and Romney match up with the first family of reality TV, to find out just who most mirrors the E! stars. We've laid out a number of Kardashian Kategories and stacked the two candidates up in each. It's up to your vote to decide which candidate is best keeping up with the Kardashians.

Kim: The Kardashians have some crazy fans. They tweet, buy Kardashian-brand clothing, make tribute websites and rush wherever one of the sisters happens to be appearing. Obama: Had this in 2008, though that's largely gone by the wayside -- for now, at least. Romney: After four years of campaigning for President, he's just barely leading Iowa. Republicans there are decidedly unexcited about their choices.
