Poor Mittens, he not only has to pay someone to tweet for him, he needs to buy
his own Twitter followers:
It appears that the Romney campaign thought that the Colorado
shooting was the perfect time to go on a Twitter follower buying spree.
With the media all covering the horrible shooting, they assumed no one
would notice if they added 100,000 new Twitter followers in a day, but
they were wrong.
No explanation can be found in the news cycle for
why a candidate that is not even campaigning has seen such a dramatic
spike in his number of Twitter followers.
It is possible that
100,000 people woke up yesterday and today, and decided that now would
be a great time to start following Mitt Romney.
But the likely
truth is just like the awkward and unpopular rich kid that he is, it
looks like Mitt Romney is having to buy his friends on Twitter.

Did he buy them from Gingrich? I hear he could use the money.
From TPM:
"I have six times as many Twitter followers as all the other candidates combined, but it didn't count because if it counted I'd still be a candidate; since I can't be a candidate that can't count." Which is true! Gingrich currently boasts 1,325,842 followers, whereas competitors Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann have yet to crack 100,000."
