Joe Biden, over a text message, which was sent out to Obama's legions of followers. Four years later, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the likely presidential nominee from the Republican Party, has decided to make his VP announcement over a smartphone app. On Tuesday, Mitt Romney's campaign team launched a smartphone app called 'Mitt's VP,' which promises app users will be the first to know the official news of Romney's running mate for the November election. Once Romney makes his decision, he will announce the news over the app, which will alert smartphone owners with a text notification."

Looks like Max Headroom will be the new VP candidate.
At least he has a mute button.

I think you mean "dyed in the wool," although the idea that they're so devoted that they'd die with the wool still pulled over their eyes works too :-P

Maybe this app is not just to receive a text message. Maybe this app really is Mitt's VP, and he needs a few million smartphones to run the neural nets.

I don't think you can be your own running mate...

I'm sure the GOP's got the blueprints to build another Romney.

The problem is that the GOP bought those blueprints from the Democrats. The blueprints they bought were for John Kerry.
