The news media on Wednesday was abuzz with opinions about whether U.S. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney spray tans before major speeches and television appearances \u2014 a theory advanced by one small news organization. BuzzFeed reported today that an unidentified source said Romney pays to have a spray tanning professional spray him in hotel rooms before major appearances, which the Romney campaign denies.<\/p>\n
They say his tan is a natural sun tan. This week, for example, before Tuesday\u2019s presidential debate in Florida Romney participated in a touch-football game on the beach with members of the press.<\/p>\n
Either way, there\u2019s no denying that Romney \u2014 like most people \u2014 looks better on TV with a tan. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting that so many people seem to be interested in this,\u201d Smart Tan Executive Director Joseph Levy said. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with Mr. Romney wanting to look and feel better about his appearance.\u201d<\/p>\n
