Romney Glitter-Bombed....Twice.

EAGAN, Minn.—Mitt Romney was struck twice by the dreaded "glitter bomb" Wednesday when he appeared at his first campaign rally after his victory in the Florida primary.

The first time occurred as Romney was taking the stage. As he was doused with a cloud of red and blue glitter, the candidate exclaimed, "This is confetti! We just won Florida!"

Glitter-bombing has been a popular act of protest on the 2012 campaign trail among activists angry about the candidates views on gay marriage. Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann have all been hit at varying points during the campaign—with Santorum hit twice in the last two weeks alone.

But that wasn't all. Romney was doused by glitter again as he shook hands along the rope line at the end of his event. Police were seen dragging a man away from the scene.
