An anti-feminists vote for Romney

Mitt Romney, the token Mormon candidate in this coming election, got a surprising hit on Youtube recently with the clip of "romney's girls" as a response to "Obama's Girl". In an attack ad, the Romney girls attack Obama Girl for flip-flopping and not sticking to her... beliefs?
Seriously? Her beliefs? Her sway of the vote is really enough of a deal that we're making an attack ad out of it? Not only is the video ridiculous, but it's approved by... yes, that's right, 3 random blondes. This takes the completely worthless Obama video and doubles the catastrophe by giving it enough attention to attack it.
What is in this video? Nothing important... at all. News and TV clippings of how Obama Girl's idea wasn't original? Really? Who cares if it was original... and who is really fact checking? Then they claim that she hasn't decided who she is really going to vote for. She is a flip flopper. Yes, in Congress this may be dangerous... but a random girl off the streets who made a Youtube video? We're really going to attack her for not knowing who she will vote for in over a year? Okay, so far this has some sort of research to it. Oh, wait. Then throw in a clip from her on HOWARD STERN and in a bikini. Yes, let's really lend to her credibility.
So what does Mormon Mitt Romney say about this?
"'There’s nothing like getting a good spot on YouTube.'" (msnbc.com)

Ohh yes, that's publicity for you. Three blondes in tank tops saying that another chick is wrong. That really lends to Romney's character. To fully reduce this whole fiasco to ridiculousness...
"Then he made one of his charming asides about how he needs to get his wife Ann to stop putting on those 'hot pants.'" (msnbc.com)

Okay, so not only is Romney giving this fake fight legitimacy, he chooses to play along. Of all the candidates, Mitt Romney, Mormon from Massachusetts, is playing along. At least Obama has the sense not to get involved in this ludicrous situation. And it truly helps that on real network news choose to give it real air time, about how they question Obama's Girl's "integrity."
So the idea of putting a girl in a bikini from Youtube to the TV screen?
NONE WHATSOEVER.
What are they thinking? This is the kind of thing they need to ignore, they make a bigger deal out of. And Fox News' congratulated Romney for getting the publicity and the appeal to a demographic for his campaign.
Here's my question: what is this demographic?
18-24 year-old males, in college or reading Playboy, and searching Youtube under keywords like: "hot chicks".
All in all... Romney is attracting the college guys now so consider HIM a major force to reckon with.

Even the girls admit to the fact that they have no credibility, all they know is that the candidates are "like, cute and stuff", and that they don't really care so much.
So why do we?
