Mitt Romney praises Tigers on Twitter, then hears Metro Detroit roar

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a Detroit native, gave the Detroit Tigers a shout out Thursday on Twitter for their second trip to the World Series since 2006; eleven of the first 12 responses left on his Twitter page appeared anti-Romney. Several others appeared to come from Metro Detroiters.
