Romney didn't need any acts to draw his crowd. In fact, many had to be turned away.

Where?
In Ohio, his largest rally so far and really quite small when compared to
Obama's rallies, people began leaving the rally during the middle
of Mitt's speech.
LOL

I just read that Kidd Rock was in OH with him that helped him draw large crowds. The difference between these events is when Kidd Rock finished performing the crowd started leaving. The supporters here are here to see Obama.

Do you find it curious Mary C that President Obama is visiting Wisconsin 3 times in the last week of campaigning when his campaign spokes people continue to push the narrative that the President is focused on swing states that he knows the vote is close. Wisconsin is a battle tested conservative base that is energized and ready for this fight. Right now it's a 3 round fight and the President has been given 1 standing 10 count already.

TOP TEN REASONS NOT TO RE-ELECT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
====================================================
10)Obamacare has increased my insurance premiums by 12% just for next year!
9)2009 Apology tour.
(where were Springteen and Katy Perry then?)
8)27% more each year in Federal spending
7)Government Motors
6)Jobs created by B.O.'s stimulus only cost us $110,000/job
(if you believe B.O.'s jobs numbers)
5)Median household income down $4,000/yr
4)46.7 MILLION people on food stamps.
3)Deficit doubled, not halved.
2) 6 TRILLION in new debt (3 times Bush's rate)

The recession, which started before Obama took office, is responsible for the financial woes. The "apology tour," besides making no sense whatsoever from a national security standpoint, never happened.
Give Barack Obama a second term.

Yes, but B.O. has done NOTHING to improve the situation. In fact, I now have to pay another 12% in health care premiums thanks to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Bren also wrote: "The "apology tour," besides making no sense whatsoever from a national security standpoint, never happened."
Oh yes, B.O. made the United States appeared so good to the rest of the world. Maybe this will help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FGbDJuD2do
Finally she wrote: "Give Barack Obama a second term."
We can't handle another four years of B.O.

President Obama sure has done things since taking office to help. The Recovery Act was stimulus that went to every state to keep people employed and to hire more workers. It also included a middle class tax cut. Then President Obama stepped up to save the American car industry. He gave them a loan that saved thousands of jobs. He made sure to take out Osama Bin Laden who was plotting more attacks against America, and he has taken out most top Al Qaeda operatives. President Obama tells the truth and his word is his word. Romney lies and lies and lies and lies and is the most dishonest man to run for president.

veryvila,
If you take the money spent on B.O.'s Stimulus, divide it by the number of jobs, it only cost the tax payers 110,000 to create each job. NOT a good investment.

TOP TEN REASONS TO ELECT MITT ROMNEY
====================================
10) Improved Massachusettes economy while Governor
9) Knows how to create jobs
(actually that's all we need, but let's continue)
8) Has proven he can work with others across the aisle
(instead of ramming bad legislation through without reading it or letting other's read it)
7) Will repeal Obamacare
(maybe I can get my 12% back)
6) Went out of his way to hire qualified women in his cabinet
5) Will ease burdensome regulations that hurt this economy while keeping productive ones in place
4) Not only delivered a budget, but balanced it four times.
3) Actually had a plan to improve the United States
2) Will put United States interests ahead of all else
and the number 1 reason to elect Mitt Romney

Romney was not a successful governor and he left his job without completing his term. He is very unpopular in Massachusetts right now because of his lies and attacks that are dishonest.

Veryvila, that is a flat out lie. Romney served his full four year term before deciding to run for President in 2008.

The Anti-Alinsky -
Willard, technically, did finish his term as Governor of MA; one could hardly say he took his job seriously or actually spent much time in MA…he really spent most of his time positioning himself for a presidential run in 2008...
“During Mr. Romney’s four-year term as governor of Massachusetts, he cumulatively spent more than a year — part or all of 417 days — out of the state, according to a review of his schedule and other records. More than 70 percent of that time was spent on personal or political trips unrelated to his job, a New York Times analysis found.
During his last year as governor, he was largely an absentee chief executive. In October 2006, for example, he was out of the state all or part of 25 days. His public schedules said he was spending “personal time in Utah” or “attending political events” in California, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, Texas and Wisconsin. He went to a fund-raiser on Oct. 6 in Georgia for the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, stumped on Oct. 12 for a candidate for governor in Pennsylvania and appeared on Oct. 31 in Idaho on behalf of another candidate. In December, his last month in office, he took a swing through Asia before vacationing in Utah.

I expected an answer from Comrade John or one of the other extreme Leftists on this blog. First the lie, then the spin trying to justify the lie.
A Governor is elected to run the state. There is no time requirement involved, and, very often they go out of state for various reasons, to promote the state, attend conferences, or heaven forbid, take a vacation.
You try to jump all over his record, but the fact remains, Romney closed a huge budget gap, kept Massachusetts schools at the top of the education list, and had a great economy.
Spin that Comrade John!

The Anti-Alinsky –
Willard was born with an extreme sense of entitlement – shades of GWB & Walker here – and everything he did was only to increase his own personal sense of entitlement and public exposure. Whether that was trolling Paris during the Vietnam War looking for converts to the Mormon faith, he being the personal representative of GOD and all, networking to become a Bishop in the Mormon faith, obtaining Bain, with no personal or financial risk to him involved, and ruling that with an iron fist. His tenure at the Olympics was just another opportunity to raise his profile, network and create financial contracts that he refuses to divulge even today. The governorship of MA was nothing more than a strategic opportunity for him to further position himself in the political limelight so he could run for the presidency.
Willard has always been only about Willard.
MA has a balanced budget directive built into its constitution, so that had to happen; however, the Democratic Legislature was more responsible for that accomplishment than Willard was, as they routinely overrode his asinine vetoes. Today, MA has no love for Willard, and they had none when he departed the governorship either, leaving the state $1.2 Billion in debt…
By any reasonable and rational standard Willard is nothing more than a very selfish, self-serving, psychopathic personality seeking the ultimate power at any cost to those around him.
The good news is: That ends today or early tomorrow!

Mitt doesn't need an opening act (or was Obama the opening act?) to draw a big crowd yesterday . Thousands ( yes with an"s") turned away at State Fair and 30,000 last nite in Ohio.
BTW, who do you think the little girls where there to see? Obama or Katie Perry? Hey Patch, great headline: "Live Blog.........featuring Barry and Katie". Love making them co-headliners". Pretty blatant brainwashing.
