A Romney Visits Paoli to Thank Volunteers

The Romney Campaign now says Pennsylvania is in play, so they're bringing in the big guns.

 

The Romney Campaign announced Thursday that the former Massachusetts governor will be coming back to Southeast Pennsylvania on Sunday.

Thursday Mitt Romney's oldest son Tagg came to TE with a visit to the GOP's campaign/phone bank center in Paoli.

Tagg Romney spoke with volunteers for about 10 minutes before sitting down to make a couple of calls to encourage local voters to get to the polls on Tuesday to vote his father.

PA hasn't gone for the Republican candidate since Bush carried the state in 1988. And it isn't going to Romney in 2012. But he's going to lose OH and most of the other Midwest battleground states (other than IN) so this is good for propaganda if nothing else.

The only reason the Republicans lose Pa. is because of the Democratic Philadephia vote......

Dave Staiger, that is not correct. The four "swing" counties outside of Philadelphia decide the vote -- Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware. The cities vote D; the rural parts of the state vote R. It's our four counties that put the state in the D or R column.

Yes, the Philly vote, most of the Philly suburbs (Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware Counties) Lehigh Valley, Pittsburgh and most or all of SW PA, Erie County and the Scranton Wilkes-Barre region. So yes, apart from all of PA's densest population centers, Republican candidates do GREAT!

Tagg Romney has done some very shady business with convicted felon Allen Stanford, who ran an $8 billion Ponzi scheme, the largest in history behind Bernie Madoff. Too bad the mainstream press hasn't done more digging into Tagg's background and his repeated lies to cover up his tracks:
