On the Republican side, there’s Mitt Romney at one extreme (high zombie quotient), Rudy Giuliani at the other (still hewing to the pro-choice line, still talking with the cheerful opinionatedness of a New York City mayor), and McCain as a kind of phoniness parable, a cautionary example of what happens when a leopard tries to change its spots. ~New York Magazine

I’m glad that I’m not the only one who regards Romney as intensely inhuman and creepy.  Normally robot is the word that comes to mind, but zombie conveys the same sense pretty well.
