Romney supporters can join him on trail

For the political junkie who just can't get close enough, Mitt Romney has an offer for you.

He announced a contest this morning for three supporters to spend time with him on the presidential trail. To apply, they have to write 100 words or less on why they want to tag along. And giving $100 or more wouldn't hurt either. The deadline to apply is midnight Sept. 30.

If this sounds familiar, Hillary Clinton already had two supporters tag along with her in Iowa, then posted video of the day.

Still, the contest is the latest attempt by the Romney campaign to get backers to participate directly in the campaign. It is also holding a contest to create a TV ad.
