"Hooters" Girls ambush Romney

ABC News' Matt Stuart: Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney got more than he bargained for when visiting a chili cook-off in Anderson, SC yesterday.
After making comments at the Main Street Deli, Romney hit the streets to sample some of the local chilis. Little did he know a small group of "Hooters" waitresses were waiting at the end of a line of people waiting to meet Romney. The woman pounced on Romney, hugging him, urging him to vote for the "Hooters" chili.
Romney was clearly impressed with the Main Street Deli's chili entry, stating emphatically "That's good."
At one point, after putting on a brand new gray sweatshirt from Walmart, Romney was offered a Mardi Gras-like bead necklace. Romney declined, shrugging his shoulders, saying, "I have nothing to show."
The crowd was overall very receptive to Romney's visit overall, several of the woman in the crowd asking him to kiss them on the cheek. One woman exclaimed, "Oh, wow, you're handsome."
Romney assured one male resident, "Those other ladies were making me kiss them on the cheek. I'm not doing that to you."
The gentleman simply responded, laughing: "Well thank you very much."
The visit was part of a two day South Carolina swing for Romney.

Romney is a RINO. He's anti 2nd amendment; pro mandated health insurance, (a facist 'solution'); flip flopper on abortion and the marriage amendment. We need a REAL conservative for a change, a Reagan conservative - vote for DUNCAN HUNTER!

The poor guy. Ambushed by Hooters girls!
You know that these candidates really care when you see the horrors they have to endure on the campaign trail. They're taking bullets for you and me!

It's great to see young adults actually cheering for a presidential candidate! A few years ago you would have been hard pressed to find someone of their age actually naming a presidential candidate muchless identifying one. I'm happy to see how far we've come!
