The only thing that America’s youth cares about is social networking. That’s why candidates for the 2008 election are jumping on the Facebook bandwagon to let the kids know they’re hip. After the jump, we dissect the Facebook profile of Republican candidate, Mitt Romney.

Key Stats:
Supporters: 18,192
Wall Posts: 6,836

Picture:

Unlike some nominees, Mitt is attractive from any angle. Picking a picture was more about finding the right look than finding a flattering shot. There are a lot of things he could have been doing in this picture, like kissing babies or whatever politicans do. But Mitt played it cool and went for the understated “Hey, aren’t you in my math class?” look, and it works for him. Also working for him: that sweater.

Interests:
Obviously, Facebook is more than just a social networking opportunity for politicians, but does Mitt Romney have any interests other than Mitt Romney 2008?

First off the opening, “besides my family.” It’s good to know that despite the hassles of running for president, Mitt Romney is still interested in his family. And if winning the war against the jihadists is most important, (even more important than family?), why is it last? Is Mitt Romney on the side of the terrorists?

Favorite Books:
Huckleberry Finn, What It Takes, Theodore Rex, The World Is Flat, 1776, The Battle For Peace, The Business Of Winning, Future Jihad, The Purpose Driven Life, The West’s Last Chance, Mastering The Rockefeller Habits, The Four Obsessions Of An Extraordinary Executive. Jesus, Romney’s list of favorite books might as well be the syllabus for a continuing education class called "Man Beach Reading 101."

Status:
Mitt Romney’s status updates are always dull. Does he think speaking to the youth vote through status updates will get them to read his Strategy for a Stronger America? They probably couldn’t even finish that status update it was so boring.

About Me:
We get it! Mitt Romney is great, handsome and successful. But what's missing from this endless About Me? Romney's religion, which doesn't appear anywhere on this profile. As much as Mitt Romney tries to seem confident on Facebook, he's just like any other college student: self-hating.
