Why Not? He Buys Everything Else.
It appears that Mitt Romney is outsourcing his Twitter followers.
Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign may be buying up Twitter followers to pad the former Massachusetts governor’s online presence.
@MittRomney has already attracted more than 100,000 new followers on Saturday, far more than his average 1,000 – 6,000 per day, and the new followers “seem to have major trouble with spelling simple English words, have names that sometimes seem to be random assortments of syllables, and have no (or very few) followers themselves”:
Okay, so I have about 4 Twitter followers. I didn’t buy a single one of them. At least two of them, I would pay to go away.
Thanks to Cheryl for the heads up.
