(Photo: Twitter)</p></div></p>
<p>In their latest press release, the Romney campaign asked, "WHAT IF @Bill_Clinton12 WERE TWEETING?" They proceeded to answer their own question with a series of hypothetical Tweets from a @Bill_Clinton12 account. <!--more--></p>
<p>The Romney campaign started their Bill Clinton Twitter fantasy by imagining what his <a href="http://politicker.com/2012/06/bill-clinton-media-critic/">recent statements</a> defending Mr. Romney's work at Bain Capital would sound like in Tweet form:</p>
<blockquote><p>"@Bill_Clinton12: There’s no question that @MittRomney had a sterling business career.</p>
<p>@Bill_Clinton12: The Obama campaign shouldn’t be attacking @MittRomney’s private sector work.</p>
<p>@Bill_Clinton12: In my humble opinion, the time @MittRomney spent at Bain Capital was a good business career."</p></blockquote>
<p>The Romney campaign also converted some critical comments Mr. Clinton made about President Barack Obama in 200 into Tweets:</p>
<blockquote><p>"@Bill_Clinton12: A vote for @BarackObama is a crap shoot – a roll of the dice.</p>
<p>@Bill_Clinton12: Why would you vote 4 @BarackObama with only 1 year in the Senate? Really?</p>
<p>@Bill_Clinton12: If you’re voting for @BarackObama you might as well vote for Chris Matthews!"</p></blockquote>
<p>There is indeed a <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/bill_clinton12">@Bill_Clinton12 account</a> that seems to have been set up by the Romney campaign. It features a photo of Mr. Clinton playing the saxophone and a bio that says, "This is a parody account." Mr. Clinton's foundation has <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/ClintonTweet">a Twitter page</a>, but the ex-president does not currently have a verified account on the site. There is, however, a <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/billclinton">@BillClinton account</a>, but it is unverified, protected and only has a paltry seven followers.</p>
<p>The Romney campaign's Clinton Twitter fantasy comes the same day Gawker broke the news <a href="http://gawker.com/5915964/well-it-looks-like-someone-hacked-into-mitt-romneys-private-email">hackers may have broken into</a> Mr. Romney's private email account. Perhaps, the Romney campaign should focus on getting their own technological house in order rather than worrying about the non-existent Twitter accounts of Democratic politicians.</p>
