Subscribe to RSSThe AP previews Romney’s bus tour that begins today. “Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney’s first traditional campaign trip of the general election, a six-state trek by bus, is aimed at swaying undecided voters living outside America’s big cities. To hear his advisers tell it, he’ll be visiting the towns President Barack Obama forgot. The former Massachusetts governor is planning to roll through at least 14 small cities and towns over five days on his ‘Every Town Counts’ tour. His aides say he will stop in the kinds of places that are hurting because of the bad economy — not those, they say, that Obama has in mind when he speaks about how to make things better.”
"Mitt Romney, seeking to overshadow an appearance by the president in Ohio on Thursday, mocked President Obama as a candidate of words, not deeds, whose eloquent speech-making abilities have not been matched by the effectiveness of his economic policies," The New York Times writes. "Giving his own economic speech in the same state where Mr. Obama was presenting his, Mr. Romney said that the president’s re-election campaign felt compelled to deliver a major address on the economy “because he hasn’t delivered a recovery for the economy.”"
"In Republican Mitt Romney's bid for the White House, there are the obvious obstacles: namely a sitting president, Democrat Barack Obama, and his massive campaign organization. And then there are the less predictable hurdles - such as Gary Johnson, a self-effacing former New Mexico governor who could complicate Romney's efforts to challenge Obama in New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada in the November 6 election," Reuters reports.

The Weather Vane should be on the "Short Bus" along with his supporters.
Sorry, Mitt you can't buy America and cut her in to pieces and sell her. There ain't no room vulture capitalism in the White House.
Obama/Biden 2012
I wonder will Willard actually ride on the bus or will he pull a Palin.....?
The bus parks at the airport where he flies in, then he hops on the bus and rides into town!
The REAL title of this news is -
Romney: Roadkill!
Where's all the tea people Koch republicans ranting about Romney's bus tour on the tax payers dollar? And before you uninformed tea people Koch republicans start ranting he's paying for it himself, the bus is paid for by your tax dollars.
Stay the hell out of Pennsylvania we have enough dirt balls with Corbett and his crew of losers
I heard on "The Last Word" that they have named Romney's bus " THE ETCH -A-SKETCH EXPRESS"
I wonder how his dog is doing on top of the bus! exlax ETCH-A-SKETCH needs to switch places with his dog so the 99% American People can throw tomatoes at him to show him how well liked he is!!!
Romney had Trump sitting on his lap the whole time
Willard "Mitt" is no more than an elitist bully that was a draft dodger during Vietnam and a current day tax dodger. He doesn't believe in this country. He has grown sons that have no military experience, but he wants all of the other young men & women to fight for this country. He has tax dodger accounts in the Cayman Islands and Swiss bank accounts. Why the H... would I listen to a man that has no interest in putting his own money or skin into our countries issues?
I really want to know if he was a conscientious objector during Vietnam. Why didn't any of his grown sons participate in our military over the last decade? I certainly don't believe that I want a man to be commander and chief if he can't put his own family into saving this countries security and FREEDOM.
but, but Willard has that dancing horse that will be in Olympic competition...
I wonder will he tell the folks in the towns he's visiting about that little nugget. Heck, the horse probably gets better health care and nutrition than the voters he's trying to appeal to!
Out of Touch----Willard!
"Every Town Counts"--another misrepresentation! Every town doesn't count for Romney. He's shown over and over how much he doesn't care about anyone making less than a million dollars. Remember the "Are these donuts from 7/11" incident? Not to mention all of his economic policy stances. For Romney, it's not "Every Town Counts," it's "Every Corporate Headquarters Counts."
Makes you wonder just what all these Billionares are getting from Romney for their donations
