Department of Unneccessary Clarifications

It turns out that Mitt Romney is a Twilight fan. In sharing this news, Romney offered some clarification:

I mean, I like the Twilight series. I thought it was fun. I don’t like vampires personally, I don’t know any, but you know my granddaughter was reading it and I thought, ‘Well this looks like fun,’ so I read that.

Thanks for reassuring us all that you neither like vampires nor count any in your circle of friends. This is a bold stance and could cost him the coveted walking dead vote (they always turn out in Chicago) but principles are principles.

I'm bummed, though, that the reporter didn't follow up for the scoop of whether Mitt likes Edward or Jacob. Hopefully, that will come out in the debates.
