Did someone from the crowd just physically attack Mitt Romney live on CNN?

It looked like someone jumped at him or something and his security yanked him away fast and pulled the other guy away from Romney as well.

Was that an attempt at a glitterbombing? I've heard he's been glitterbombed twice so far?

1. probably glitterbomb attempt

2. Someone just posted someone squirted a blue liquid at him then was dragged away. nt

3. Romney has Secret Service protection now, so it's not a really good idea ...

to try to do anything to him, even glitter bomb him.

4. Speaking of SS protection...what about Cain?

Didn't he get SS protection, shortly before the big implosion?

Hell, I want my money back from that loser!

[Tx4obama]

6. Yes, Cain did.

I wonder if they gave Romney Cain's old SS guys.
I wonder if things keep going well for Santorum if they will give Mitt's current SS guys to Santorum - LOL

7. Yes, Cain got Secret Service protection

from his wife.

5. CNN just played it back in slow motion. It was a glitterbombing.

Doesn't look like much got on him. The front of his suit maybe.

It was blue glitter.

Not a fan of Mitt at all, but impressed by how fast and smooth the secret service work. They have eyes like hawks.

Then, according to CNN, they examined the glitter to make sure it was only glitter and nothing more sinister or a threat to the crowd.

This reminds me of the famous pieings if anyone has seen the old footage of Anita Bryant getting pied for her anti-gbltq views.
