I don't much care for Romney. I do like Ron Paul and have been impressed with how his message resonates with the masses. I'm not a huge fan of Auraptor.

In this case, however, I have to concede that Raptor's cry of Foul is accurate.

There is no question that the Romney camp made a P.R. blunder in moving a small gathering to a large venue.

But that's the beginning and end of what we can say about this.

When Romney, by design, invites the wide world to an event at a large venue, you'll be able to make a fair comparison to others who have done so. Until then, this is just comedy night fodder without much substance.

Anthony, are you saying that Romney's day at Ford Field wasn't a regular campaign stop, one that everyone knows about
and is welcome to attend? Most area Republicans didn't even know about it? The Detroit Economic Club only was invited?

And the folks making fun of him knew it?

Personal responsibility is the Truth.
Self determination triumphs over reaction.

Hello,

Those are the facts as I understand them.

That's not how I understand it, nor how it was billed locally - the DEC had primacy in the arrangement but as far as I understand the matter it was open to the public, just none of em cared or wanted to hear anything he said - they did chase off a couple packs of protestors, but there were damn few even of them, I suspect that's also in part due to a critical failure to communicate the time/date/venue properly by his campaign staff.

Also interesting is that as a smack in the face to the GOP I've seen hordes of Democrats charging the polls of the open GOP primary to vote for Santorum (effectively political trolling) to wind up the GOP and stick them with a nomination here for the stupidest wackjob possible making them look more insane than they already are...

I disagreed with this, vehemently so - if you're going to bother to vote for someone on the other side as a kick in the teeth to Romney, at least vote for someone like Ron Paul fer cryin out loud, cause you flood the polls for a nutjob you risk pulling this...

Of course it's all a dog and pony show anyway given the proven chicanery and manipulation already involved in said primary, but still this mocks the very pretense of democracy and I don't care for it.
