4. With the Sheriff Deputies all over the place?

And when they bring prisoners over from the County Prison, they use another entrance reserved for such prisoners and their guards. Thus no prisoners will be around the Bus and neither will be the Deputies. Cambria County is a Democratic Stronghold as is most of South Western Pennsylvania (Through tend to be more prejudice then most other Democratic area, tied in with the use of African Americans as strike breakers in the 1920s).

McCain split the vote in most Southwestern Pennsylvania Counties (While Obama won big in Allegheny County). Cambria went for Obama by a small percentage, while Beaver (47% for Obama), Washington (46%), Greene (48% for Obama), Fayette (49% for Obama) went with McCain by an small percentage. Somerset (36% for Obama) Armstrong (36% for Obama) (36% for Obama), Venago (39% for Obama), Jefferson (34% for Obama) and Butler (35% for Obama) still gave 1/3 of their votes to Obama with Westmoreland (41% for Obama) Indiana (45% for Obama) and Clearfield (42% for Obama) Counties between these two extremes.

Thus the local have to be careful, to high a Democratic Base. Worse part Ebensburg and north in Cambria county is a Democratic Stronghold, mostly former steel workers and coal miners. The GOP strength is in the suburbs of Johnstown (Johnstown itself is a Democratic Stronghold).

Thus this is to give the image that Romeny cares about Johnstown/ Cambria County so he "visits" now, while before the real start of the Campaign with the start of the Conventions.
