Mitt Romney To Announce VP Decision Via Smartphone App

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."

Select few? You think none of those people with the app are going to be in the news media? Jeebus wept, dial back the Downtrodden Rag Tag Rebel [tm] rhetoric a bit.

I agree.
However, what else would you expect from America's Borat?
16 trillion $ debt, 8.2% unemployment, continuing deep recession, what else should I consider from America's Borat?
