Is Mitt Romney trying to woo the teenage girl vote ahead of next year's presidential election?

In a potentially campaign-changing development, the 2012 presidential hopeful admitted to NBC's Jamie Gangel that he happens to be a fan of the "Twilight" series. The revelation came up during a discussion of books the former Massachusetts governor has read, including George W. Bush's recent memoir. But that's not all, Romney added.

"I like silly stuff, too," Romney volunteered. "I like the 'Twilight' series. That was fun."

LOL brilliant

[RowdyFFC]

Well, no, Elsie, I did not. I said ‘I’ am not going to judge him. I never said anything about YOU. I have the many beefs with Romney about his governance, but his reading a couple of kids sci-fi books is not something I’m going to get bent out of shape about.

[RowdyFFC]

Yes, Elsie, I’m a lifetime Southern Baptist.

[RowdyFFC]

Yes, Elsie, my opinion that I’m not going get bent out of shape because Romney read a couple of books. That is my opinion and it’s valid.

[RowdyFFC]

Great, I’m glad he enjoyed reading them. I enjoyed reading them and then seeing them put up in movies. It was great fun. You got something against enjoying a couple of books and seeing a couple of sci-fi movies? NOT religious movies by the way, just sci-fi movies of the tall tale kind geared for teens.

[RowdyFFC]

AND YOUR POINT IS, ELSIE? You can copy and paste good, btw.

[RowdyFFC]

Yeah, I read that one, Elsie, and I put down my Christian invitation to most people I meet. Is that a problem for you?

[RowdyFFC]

Of course it fits, TNNana, that’s why I sent to you. You called free will blasphemy, when God explicity speaks to it. NEXT TIME you read the Bible, you need to take it in reverance and open up your mind and let God teach it to you instead of just READING IT! READING the Bible is just the first step. Understanding what it says and God’s message from is a whole different ballgame. When you’ve READ THE BIBLE 60 TIMES and don’t understand your free will. You’re OBVIOUSLY NOT GETTING IT! You just blasphemed the Bible with your blithering NONSENSE.

The day a presidential candidate thinks he can grab a large block of votes by ingratiating himself with fans of vampire love is the day we’re done as a nation.

Well said! The weird thing about it is that the Twilight series is big with mormons...and Mitt already has the mormon vote sewed up!

Has anyone noticed the Mitt is as tone deaf as the current occupant of the WH?

[Tennessee Nana]

Mitty didnt have the teenybopper vote yet

The younger generation is more pro-life than the older

He needs something to identify weith the 18 year olds

Next report

“Romney has been a Gamer since boyhood”

“I was a Dungeon and Dragons Champ”

“Mitt Romney: I invented Pac Man”

[Elsie]

I said ‘I’ am not going to judge him. I never said anything about YOU.

Have you forgotten what you typed ALREADY?

That’s their bag and not for us to judge or point fingers at.

[Elsie]

So; BOTH your and Mr Rogers 'opinions' are equally valid?

Yes, Elsie, my opinion that I’m not going get bent out of shape because Romney read a couple of books.

So Rogers is valid, too. Ok.

[Tennessee Nana]

and then theres the soccer Moms

“Romney says his Mom was the block chauffeur”

And coal miners

“Romneys Dad died of Black Lung”

and tennis players

“Romney Had Mean Backhand in College”

and mountain climbers and rock climbers

“Romney has scaled the heights”

and then theres the medical profession

“Mitt Romney Induces Sickness”

and veterans and military

“Romney No Stranger to Conflict”

and the college crowd and athletes

“Romney Studies Presidential Run”

[Elsie]

Question: Does that mean he is NOT 'discerning'; as you put it?

Response: Great, I’m glad he enjoyed reading them. I enjoyed reading them and then seeing them put up in movies. It was great fun.

My reaction: I still don't know.

[Tennessee Nana]

Definitely not a great authors reader

[Elsie]

Yes, Elsie, I’m a lifetime Southern Baptist.

Well, I was wondering because this is SO 'MORMON'!

...follow his Commandments plus we accept the offer of grace...

And; I color BETWEEN the lines quite well, too; doncha think?

[Elsie]

Yeah, I read that one, Elsie, and I put down my Christian invitation to most people I meet. Is that a problem for you?

But you stated that's the ONLY thing you do.

I find that to be problematic.

[Elsie]

You left out PETA:

“Romney lets dog enjoy air conditioned vista on trip.”

[Abundy]

I find that to be problematic.

is that 'discerning' or judgemental?

and who really cares what your or I find problematic, we are both human, and therefore flawed.

What you deem problematic really doesn't matter...
