Sweet Tweets on Valentine’s Day from Hopefuls Courting Voters in 2016

Just how comfortable with public displays of affection are the men and women who would be president? A look at their social media accounts today is one way to find out.

Santorum later challenged other men by tweeting something more gooey about spoiling his valentine:

 

Pundits probably will argue for days over whether Biden’s valentine tweet to his wife in any way makes up for his participation yesterday in this Obamacare-promoting video with a Valentine’s Day hook:

 

No wonder some conservatives quietly admit they already miss Mitt Romney and his wife Ann, who had this exchange in the morning:
