Supporters who want to hear who Mitt Romney selects as his running mate can find out by downloading a mobile app, the campaign announced on on Tuesday.

The “Mitt’s VP” app is the latest tease by the campaign for the vice presidential announcement. The app will provide an instantaneous alert to a mobile device, and is available now for both iPhone and Android.

“The historic announcement is getting closer,” Romney senior advisor Beth Myers said in a release. “Soon everyone will know who Mitt Romney selects as his vice presidential running mate. With this new app, users can be the first to know the second member of America’s Comeback Team.”

In 2008, the Obama campaign allowed supporters to learn his vice presidential pick through text messaging.
