Mitt Romney's Online Social Network

October 9, 2007

This is the latest report from the National Journal/NBC reporters embedded with the campaigns of top presidential contenders and in two key states.

The campaign of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Monday launched its own online social-networking platform dubbed Team Mitt Action Center, a site the campaign called comparable to Facebook and MySpace.

Strategists in the campaign also will host "Ask Team Mitt Anything" online sessions -- similar to the "Ask Mitt Anything" forums the candidate hosts on the trail. Look for Romney campaign manager Beth Myers to kick off the sessions with her 2 p.m. chat today, when she will preview today's GOP debate.

The other mission of the new site is to allow Romney supporters to engage in the campaign and network with each other. -- Erin McPike
