WASHINGTON — Want to be among the first to know who Mitt Romney picks for a running mate? There’s an app for that.
Romney’s campaign Tuesday announced an iPhone and Android application to alert supporters when Romney makes his vice-presidential pick. The campaign promises they can find out who Romney chooses “before the press and just about everyone else (except maybe Ann).”
A user who downloads the free app is directed to enter his name, email, address, ZIP code and smart-phone number.
The app also allows Romney’s team to see users’ locations, which could be used to target voters in battleground states.
