Now that the primary race is officially over, we are prepared to announce Romney's new election season nickname. Discarding the former nickname, "Mittens", we move now a fresh start, a new adventure, to "R Money".

The only problem with "Rmoney" - as playfully appropriate as it is - is that it sounds similar to "Harmony". Which is a fine thing to invoke if we're talking about the Buffyverse vampire, but it's a peculiarly inappropriate sentiment for this master of deceit.

Is he my nemesis?
I think the accented second syllable alleviates most of the confusion. Does 'harmony' evoke too closely 'I'm a uniter, not a divider'?

Hm, I think "harmony" evokes "I'm a uniter, not a divider" with a closeness that is entirely appropriate.
