Sparse crowd at Romney "storm relief" event [View all]

The rally was held at Fairmont High School and there was plenty of room for everyone. I mean, just look at the turnout for this scheduled event (and it was very much a scheduled event) in the important swing state.






Look closely at the photos. Notice how no one is wearing a coat? Notice there are a lot of young people with the "F" t-shirt? Obviously these are people who were already in the building otherwise they would be wearing winter clothes (its snowing in Dayton).

The gym wasn't full of Romney supporters, it was full of students, teachers, and staff at Fairmont who went to hear him during lunch. Romney is hoping he can win Ohio with high school sophomores and juniors.
