Seems like every other person has a camera up on him.

And lots of smiles!

free personal waxing in preparation for the beach! He'd probably have managed to get a few hundred more!

If this is even close, I ain't-a buying it. Republicans can't stand him, they're not enthused about him; as far as youths go, only the biggest stick-in-the-ass repressed conservatives think he's awesome. Not to mention he doesn't exactly scream "warmth"; he's nothing but a human corporation and a serial liar and thinks there's unapologetic humor about firing workers.

His base is comprised of white, hateful, aging and dying grizzlies who still ain't gotten over the "ebonee Kenyan stealin' OUR house!!"

He's not Obama. I have yet to see more than two Romney stickers in my area... still waiting... Obama 2012 are all over the place, and I'm in a right-leaning suburb that traditionally goes republican..

If there EVER was a hold-your-nose-and-vote guy, it's Romney. He is not likable. Sadly, his family is unlikable, too. Something about all of them, they are just not people that voters would want to spend time with. They're trying too hard.

They remind me of the Coneheads of SNL.

It is not yet in the bag. Don't stop your efforts on President Obama's behalf.

Here are some photos from the Saginaw paper:

http://photos.mlive.com/saginawnews/2012/06/mitt_romney_rallys_in_frankenm_2.html

In one picture, there appear to be 6 young black kids standing immediately behind Romney, in front of the bus. Not typical of Frankenmuth, but maybe they came for Bronner's and stayed just long enough for his advance team to position them so that they would be visible despite what is a very typical Frankenmuth crowd: old white people and German tourists.

Do look at the whole slideshow: it does look like some of thse scream to be captioned.

It's a pretty small town, but a bustling one, on what seems from the pictures to have been a lovely day: they should have had more folks. Couldn't even bus in enough people from Bloomfield Hills, I suppose.

That place is usually jammed in the summer. The people in that photo most likely just got off their own bus. They're probably pissed because rumnuts' vehicle is blocking access to the buffet.
