Romney ‘Glittered’ at Minnesota Rally

iStockphoto/Thinkstock(EAGAN, Minn.) — Mitt Romney appeared covered in glitter before a campaign crowd in Eagan, Minnesota on Wednesday.
“This is confetti! We just won Florida,” Romney told the crowd. Earlier, his son could be seen wiping glitter off the former Massachusetts governor. His wife Ann also helped brush glitter off Romney and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before he took off his blazer.
It was not immediately clear who threw the confetti or glitter on Romney before the event. But the young man was removed from the event by Romney’s private security team: although Romney will be covered by Secret Service agents from now on, they had not yet begun covering the candidate.
Later in the event, Romney sang another rendition of “America the Beautiful.”
Other 2012 candidates, including former contenders Michele Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty and Newt Gingrich, have been showered in glitter by gay rights activists.
