[info]darksumomo: Mitt Romney is a Twilight fan

Gawker has the video clip from the Today Show


ETA: io9 has their own version, which points out it could be worse. He could still be an L. Ron Hubbard fan.

But you know, my granddaughter was reading it. And I thought, well this looks like fun. So I read that.

I know I shouldn't say this but... that's kind of cute.

Not that it makes me want to go vote for the guy.

Well, to be fair, a co-worker of mine* also likes Twilight, but mostly from the brain-candy POV. (At least, that's what I gather since she also owns the 'And then Buffy staked Edward' T-shirt.)

Now, if Mister Romney takes it more seriously than 'something that's not work related and doesn't require much thought, that I can talk about with my granddaughter', then I'll worry. But, given my general opinion of anyone who is able to get elected for a state office by the Republican party**, I think I'll hold off on critiquing Mister Romney for his taste in reading material when I have so many more things I can critique him on.

** Especially when they then have to go around disavowing half of what they did when they go national because they were elected in Massachusetts, and the average Republican is farther right than that.

Apparently Romney's Mormon, so I guess it makes sense?

Mormon≠Twilight fan. It's sort of cute that he read it so he could talk about it to his grandkids.

No but Mormon may explain why he would enjoy Twilight, in that he agrees with the values presented in the novels.

There aren't that many male Twilight fans after all.

So, guys, let's call it: Is Mitt on Team Edward or Team Jacob?

Green cleaning has become quite popular in the past years. There are some ordinary products that can help you clean a lot of things. One of those products is lemon. It is much cheaper than all the commercial products and it works much better than them.
