Romney to announce VP pick via smart phone
CBS News ^ | 7-31-12 | Stephanie Condon

As the use of smart phones grows across the nation, both President Obama and Mitt Romney are seeking to leverage the technology with new campaign apps.

The Romney campaign on Tuesday launched a free app called "Mitt's VP," which will allow users to learn who Romney has chosen to serve as his running mate as soon as it's announced.

"There's no telling when Mitt will choose his VP. But when he does, be the first to find out with Mitt's VP app," the campaign teased on its website.

The app, available on iPhone and Android platforms, will give users immediate notification and let them share the news on social media.

Now that his trip abroad has wrapped up, Romney is expected to announce his vice presidential pick soon. One of his potential choices, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, promoted the new app via Twitter, sending out the message, "Who will be @MittRomney VP?

Download the app and you'll be the first to find out: http://mi.tt/PhhK0G #MittVP #MITT2012 #sayfie #tcot"

[[Let me see.... will it be RINO A, B, or C?]]

Rhinos are bad, there’s no doubt, but they are a damn sight better than a socialist lover of muslims and antiamerican liek our present dear leader is

“Why doesn’t he just go all in and Twitter it?”

Actually, I think this is a good way to go around the old media. People hear the news and get Romney’s narrative about the VP Nomination before ABCCBSNBCCNN starts slagging him on the evening news.

Another attempt at pandering to the "Fatally Hip" crowd.

As Emerson, Lake, & Palmer's famous vinyl record album was entitled... "WELCOME MY FRIENDS to the SHOW that NEVER ENDS"

That`d work for me. Though he`s not perfect, he`d be a good choice.

I think he’s the most obvious and best choice.

He’s going to be termed out and he has military experience.

There’s nobody more articulate either and Southern to boot.

What a joke and gimmick. He is lucky that he is running against a modern day Jimmy Carter. Otherwise he’d get killed. He is our weakest nominee in memory.
