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"

We will be know to check for headlines when the collective groan is heard across the nation.

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

I think I've figured out what the Romneybots here on FR remind me of. It's like you accidentally got $20 too much change from the supermarket and you don't give it back. You have to come up with excuse after excuse to yourself as to why you kept it - I've already left the store; I might get the cashier in trouble; the food store can afford it, etc. etc. You know it's wrong but you have to justify it somehow.

I have a feeling that Drudge and Free Republic will both scoop Mitt’s iPhone!

[USAFJeeper]

I will download it :) Just a clever way to get contact info from me, but hey, I already gave it to them once :)

>>Voice: “Why not Sarah Palin?”

Mitt: (sigh) “Okay, let’s start over...”<<

LOL!! Excellent! :)

I was hoping he’d inform us via Morse code over the ham frequencies.

“Romney to announce VP pick via smart phone”

Hopefully the VP pick is as smart as a phone, because the President pick was not as smart as all.

The choice of Allen West would be miracle. Mitt isn’t that gutsy anyway.

[Revolting cat!]

Traditionally, you want somebody who'll help you carry a big state.

The darn thing is 12 MB. It’ll take up the rest of the space on my phone, just for a silly VP notification. Just Tweet it, Mittens.

Looks like it won't be Rubio. I hope it's a good choice and not a tired and tiresome one. I'd like to see a well-qualified woman on the ticket again.

I’m too pedantic but Cheney and Gore can’t server in that spot again. Of the living former VPs he’s got Quayle or Biden to pick from and Biden’s likely spoken for.

RE: “Your governor is my bet.”

Re VA Gov. McDonnell, I completely agree — I think he’s ‘it.’

[CTGOPPER]

I signed up and I’m sure a lot of others will. Good campaign move! He now has an excellent data base to reach supporters. In 2008, the GOP missed out on connecting via social media. Obama for America is the second highest news app as far as downloads.

Yet another ploy to keep the Gaffomatic Fraud-in-chief who can only produce forged documents out of today’s headlines.

[riri]

Agreed. This is pretty forward thinking and something McCain would never have done. Remember the presstitutes in the MSM making hay over McCain’s inability to use a computer due to his POW injuries?

I’m sorry- I was under the mistaken impression i was havign a covnersation with a mature person- my mistake- please forgive me- Apparently 4 more years of havign our constitutional rights taken away by a socialist is just aok with you? But whatever- as I said- I thoguht you were mature enoguh to discuss an issue in an adult manner- apparently not-
