FAIRFAX, VA -- Mitt Romney barnstormed the Old Dominion on this final full day of campaigning, cramming two stops, separated by hundreds of miles, in this hotly-contested swing state over the course of just a few hours.
Here on the campus of George Mason University, Romney was greeted by his best crowd of the day for a boisterous rally that seemed to overwhelm the GOP nominee, prompting him to joke that the attendees must have been expecting someone else to take the stage.
Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney speaks in Virginia. Watch his speech.
"That is really something special. I am looking around to see if we have the Beatles here or something to have brought you but it looks like you came just for the campaign and I appreciate it," Romney said to 8,000 supporters here. "Your voices and your energy and your passion are being heard all over the nation."
Romney's rally here was a rare foray into Fairfax County, which broke heavily Democratic in 2008 and where he must cut into President Barack Obama's margins to carry the state.

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and his wife Ann Romney wave to the crowd at a Virginia campaign rally at The Patriot Center at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Va., Monday, Nov. 5, 2012.
Romney touched down in Lynchburg, Virginia earlier in the afternoon for a lunchtime rally on the tarmac before a smaller crowd of a few thousand supporters. This was safer territory for the Republican nominee, since Arizona Sen. John McCain carried all of the surrounding counties in 2008 and are expected to remain in the GOP column this fall.
To carry Virginia on Tuesday, Republicans will likely need to run up wide margins in these central and western counties, and Romney opened his remarks in Lynchburg by thanking the volunteers in crowd, and urging them to do yet more in the race's final hours.
Telling crowds in Florida that 'this nation is going to change for the better tomorrow,' GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney rallied voters by saying he would break the gridlock in Washington. NBC's Peter Alexander reports from Columbus, Ohio.
"Your voices are being heard all over the nation loud and clear, thank you. I also want to thank many of you in this crowd that have been out there working on the campaign. Making calls from the victory centers, and by putting up a yard sign, in your neighbor's yard," Romney joked.
"This is a campaign about America and about the future we’re going to leave to our children. And we ask that you stay at this all the way until victory on Tuesday night," he continued.
Romney did add a tinge of conservatism to his usual "closing argument" speech, blaming Obama for being overattentive to a "liberal agenda" at the expense of minding the economy. Romney also warned of the specter of "card check," a union organizing reform law detested by conservatives.

Hey, FR ... is "barnstorm" the word of the day? If so, you're winning!

His best crowd number of the day is 8,000? Oh, boy, Houston, I think there's a problem! President O garners crowds in the 10's of thousands.
Hey Layton!
what they're winning is left to the minds of the uber left. maybe FR can brainstorm one day...maybe

Washington Redskins loss Sunday predicts Romney victory
Redskins fans might have been disappointed their team lost 21-13 to the Carolina Panthers, but Mitt Romney likely was not.
WHEN the "Redskins Rule" holds up Tuesday, the Republican presidential nominee will become the country's 45th president.
The rule says a Redskins win in the team's final home game before Election Day keeps the incumbent party in power and a loss means the other party claims the White House.
Since 1940, the rule has predicted the winner 17 out of 18 times.
The only time the rule failed was in 2004 when the Redskins lost to the Green Bay Packers.
That year, Republican President George W. Bush won re-election over challenger and Democratic Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry.
Romney has this fixation on visual things.
All the trees the same size, putting yard signs in the neighbor's yard?
..and Willard, thanks you for paying the fine that you got for trespassing on your neighbors' yard!..ha ha
Willard is one funny guy!
"I like to fire people." Mitt Romney
"I don't remember what I said, but I stand by whatever it is I said." Mitt Romney
Obama with campaign "crowds" in the "tens of thousands?"
Not since inauguration day...
Perhaps you're fergettin' the fact that his big stadium event at the DNC was canceled because they couldn't fill the seats, despite busing in thousands from out of state?
Oh, yeah...it was the weather forecast...sure...
Only one more day to have to listen to the mindless liberal drivel...
bye bye 'bama....grab your shiat and get the hell out of here.......go back where you came from wherever that is....

Biggest story for tomorrow night is going to be a slap on both sides of Mitch McConnell's face who plotted to make Obama a one term President. Not only will that dream remain unfulfilled, but Democrats will likely hold on to the majority in US Senate or increase by at least one more seat (Jon Tester of Montana might win) - 54 vs. 46 for Dems. Nate Silver has 92% probability that Dems will hold on to the majority.
I can't wait to see the reaction on Senator McConnell's face.
OBAMA / BIDEN 2012
People remember this saying because it's true: "Fool me once shame on you, FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME."
All posters, take a look at Tom Brokaw's analysis. In so many words, I see a win for Romney!

It's so funny seeing Ticked Off grasping at straws. Redskins loss decides the election? Seriously dude, you're messed up. LOL, that made my day.
Ahhh, Mikey, might want to do a little research. Just over the weekend in some areas there were estimated crowds of 23 & 24 thousand to see president Obama.
Don't we deserve better than this? Don't you have anything left in you? We deserve better than this. We can do better than this. Vote for Romney tomorrow. We are better than this.
YOU CANNOT KILL THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

Hey Tony
Laugh now, it's been correct 17 out of the last 18 presidential elections
If you were better informed, maybe you would have heard of it.
I have heard of it. I'm just cracking up because you believe it. What next, an ouija board or a seance?
Um...yeah, it actually did rain in and around Charlotte on that Thursday.
Miss Cleo on Line #2.
funny Tony, one of the times i will agree with you on but ouija boards and seances? Yeah thats silly indeed but plenty of you lefties im sure have made sacrafices of questionable content to the Altar of Obama. I mean you have one poster in here that said she would walk over hot coals for Obama.

Romney/Ryan 2012 for a Strong America
Um NO it didn't rain IN Charlotte...A friend of mine was a cameraman there to cover and it didn't rain a drop!
It did rain in other areas but was VERY light lasting just minutes!
Mike-306..... Not true - crowds in Ohio and Virginia in the tens of thousands. And they all were there to see our President!'
Ticked Off - it DID rain in Charlotte hours before the event. YOu and your friend are both liars!
Obama/Biden 2012
This is the truth... over the weekend Romney spoke in front of crowds numbering as many as 30,000... Obama was lucky enough to gather a couple thousand...
Liberals will hang their hats on a dusty, worn out, lying piece of crap like Obama and wish he would have done better... knowing full well that the liberals numbers aren't anywhere near enough to put him over the top... Independents are voting for Romney in droves... Romney has a 17 point lead in Ohio with independents... and liberals actually think Obama has a chance?
We'll see tomorrow... tick tock..
You want to balance a budget with the same people whose GOP policies gave us $16 TRILLION in National Debt since Reagan?
Now that makes for good humor.
Before Reagan we had only one trillion in debt and instead of fixing it the GOP when BORROW AND SPEND crazy.
Democrats TAX and SPEND.
The Teabaggers like CUT and SPEND.
I like our spending model much better.
Revenues is for spending, borrowing and cutting is for debts.

Tell me Body Odor... what did Obama mean by revenge? He told his people that they should vote for revenge... revenge of what? What does Obama want to revenge? What credence should go to a president that tells voters it's all about revenge... how negative is that?
Revenge - Obama's new motto
Hey Brian...
LOL
Obama has drawn crowds of +30K 20 times, +50K 10 Times, +75K 5 times, 100K +4 times, +200K 2 times

Sanity you would argue over the color of red... Your sources are liberal and are doing their level best to negate the momentum of Romney. In Colorado, the crowds were 30K +

Our President said that he would bring the nation together. That did not work.
Our President said that he could work with the opposition party by reaching across the isle. That did not work.
Our President said that his administration would be free from lobbyists. That did not work.
Our President said that his administration would be the most transparent ever. That did not work.
Our President said that he would fix the economy within three years. That did not work.
Our President said that his health care bill would lower health care costs. That did not work.
Our President said that he would not raise taxes on 95% of Americans in any way. That did not work.
Our President said that his stimulus spending bill would solve our employment problem. That did not work.
Our President said that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. That did not work.
Our President has provided an economic "plan" for the next 4 years that is mathematically impossible. That cannot work.
I see a pattern here. Our President said that if he could not fix the economy within three year that he did not deserve a second term.

Bryan, vote for the love of these too...
Democrats never had a super majority to stop the controlling GOP on any of these bills...
So what Body Odor? They had their reasons for not passing these bills... do you know what pork was attached to them? Do you know all the details for each and every one of these bills? How many bills did the democrats vote for that spent bazillions of taxpayer's money during the first two years of Obama's presidency?
Just because you throw up a list of bills that didn't pass.... did you also include how many democrats voted against them? I'm certain they weren't 100% for each one of them... How come you don't mention that? Your list does not impress... it only shows how hateful liberals are because they always want to be correct but never really tell the whole story.
Brianb- I went to a Romney site to verify the largest crowd he had. It was approximately 20,000. The photos at ObamaDiary show the difference - but then you don't want the truth. You can't handle it!
Tick tock - Romney is almost gone - forever!

The Patriot Center at George Mason University holds 10,000 and by the time it filled up there was still a line at least a mile long two and three people deep! The overflow area outside the complex was packed!!! I spoke to a campus police officer and he said that in the 15 years he worked at GMU, he had never seen anything close to the crowd that showed up to see Mitt Romney today!!!
Why are we arguing about the size of crowds? When I was in college, Mr. Reagan came to our campus. A lot of people who always talked against him, including professors, couldn't wait to see him because he was a celebrity. That applies both to Governor Romney and the president. It's not all about politics.

Whatever you are smoking, stop for your own good!
Received this long text message from a friend in my home state of Ohio:
"Radko, just to see what it was like, I attended a Romney Rally in West Chester. Mitt proudly talks up a lot of generalities in his campaign as to how he's going to improve America's economy ...but he looks pretty tight-lipped about not going into any details as to how he intends to achieve these things when news people asked him questions right after he walked off the stage. One of the television newsmen said, If people knew, I suspect they wouldn't vote for him. Also, I hardly saw the faces of any minorities in the rally (a few, here and there, but less than what you see out in the streets), and a hell of a lot more men than women in the crowd, now why is that. Mitt was being cheered loudly when he proclaims he would reverse everything that President Obama had a hand in. Like health care protections. Renewable energy initiatives. Affordable college loans. The saving of the Detroit auto industry. Consumer protection laws. And so on. So I went away with the impression that a lot of middle-aged caucasion men that want anarchy and more guns in their life were cheering that smirking car salesman, Mitt Romney."
For any who haven't heard the news, and for others who doubt the veracity of the story revealing Citizen Romney's "charitable soul" vis-a-vis his use of a CRUT to skim money from his own "charitable donation" to his church, here's the citation to the business organization that broke the story.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-29/romney-avoids-taxes-via-loophole-cutting-mormon-donations.html
Character counts in a president.
How can anyone, let alone a nation, trust Citizen Romney when he steals from his own church via a trust, under the guise of being a "compassionate conservative"?
Romney/Ryan: None and Done.
Vote for the man not the race, vote for President Obama the guy who is helping this country move forward. The man that will and is lowering our unemployment rate and the man that will through our hard work and taxes lower our National Debt! Tell Romney if his kids want to serve this country join the military. He thinks those that want to come here and become Americans should join the military; I think those that want to become President in the future should also have served in the military. Of course that is too late for this election but in 2016 it should be mandatory! I would like to see a Constitutional Amendment that says anyone that is elected into Government serves should have also have served in our Military. The Boy Scouts does not count, Ryan!
People that know understand that the final Gallup poll has correctly called every presidentiual election since it began in 1936.

Nate Silver's election prediction as of 11:29pm EST tonight:
Obama win 92%
Romney win 8%
GOP'ers - let me be the first to congratulate you on your candidate losing.
Doesn't matter how many greedy old white men vote for him - Romney's a goner.
And Real Americans (not corporations) have won.
Independent Thought
and how is Romney planning to do this because he hasn't said so. All he said was "TRUST ME." Could you entertain us with the details?
YEA!!!!!!
After today, no more lying political ads...............until the next
election anyway.
Rock da Vote!
The Beatles???? Does he know two of them are no longer with us? Man, he really does want to take us backward.
Ceelle .... just another way that Mitt shows he identifies with one generation and one generation only. Those crazy teenage years of his, with Mom in the kitchen and Dad out running for office and being way more ethical and honest than his son ever will be!
Obama/Biden 2012
His favorite song is probably Yesterday!
You are a moron
He doesn't even remember yesterday....and for sure, no memory of anything that happened before that.
Al,
Well, we know for sure, "Proud to be an American," is NOT Mr. or Mrs. Obama, nor Biden's theme songs.
Romney/Ryan for a Strong America
Guess Mitt doesn't remember that The Beatles were liberals. Paul still is. John most definitely would be too if he were still alive. George for the most part didn't care. And Ringo is, well, he's Ringo. One thing for sure is, I doubt any of them would support an idiot like Mitt Romney.
Just Mitt trying to persuade the Hipster vote. ;)
All my friends are voting for Romney in VA....!!! Change gonna come tomorrow!
So, yourself and two others.
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, about 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican.
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama-Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are -- or where you are
going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot
air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me
to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in
before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."
PRICELESS!
Wow, felt the need to post it twice? Sounds like someone is doing alot of self convincing and is in deep denial.
O&Joe!
Alaska Girl,
These trolls have a fixed number of posts ,about 4max.
they have not had a original thought for years.
Yes, Northstar, I see what you mean. It goes to show you how lazy and out of touch the Republican party is.
I'm already convinced that Romney is going to win...I just think it's apropos and would like more people to enjoy it as well!
Alaska Girl - Not twice but more like 6-8 times. He's on a limited number of posts he's been fed so he has to do them over and over. It's sad really - but so Republican!
Ticked off - yes, both of you with severly limited intelligence will enjoy your old, tired post. And, no, Romney will NOT win.
Obama/Biden 2012
Obama/Biden 2012
Romney sucks Koch.
I just think it's apropos and would like more people to enjoy it as well!
Yes, we get it...you're convinced Mr. Romney will win. That's why you've posted your proposed headline 20 times today along with that crap about the Redskins Rule.
Actually, it seems you are ticked off.
I do like the original content you posted, except the orgins of that joke replaces "republicans" with "Democrats" and "Obama Democrats" with Republicans.
Have a blessed day!
Ya know what...all of you can take a flying leap and FU...
It's just fine when you libtards re-post over and over again
But if a conservative does your all up in arms and out come the troll references
STFU and crawl your a$$e$ back under the rock you came out from under
...
I've seen the same crap posted by dozens of you libtards over and over and then some
and while you are at libbies...maybe you want to move to cuba.....you know...free health care and all that other bullshiat..
Awwww = Mcwacked has a new friend in Ticked Off! OOoooh - two little peas in a pod! And, you're both so perfect for each other. Limited intelligence and eagerness to show it!
Obama/Biden 2012
it's fun watching these rwnj's heads explode. Can't wait until Romney loses. The heat from the posts will burn your screens up!
Awwww, is Ticked off having a bit of a tantrum? Do you need a nappy? LOL
Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!
4 more4 44!
ticked off, Yes you certainly are. Hate much? you are convinced Romney will win. So when he loses what then? Do you come out of the bubble or not? How about a promise to never post here again.
I'm looking forward to First Read being a rightard free zone starting Wednesday morning. Actually, I hope Ticked off does post here on Wednesday. The pissing, moaning and crying will be pretty entertaining.
The first step of the grieving process is denial, the second is anger. Looks like Ticked Off is slowing realizing he will be ticked off for another four years!
Oh Alaska, (3.6)
Such class, amazing.

All posters, take a look at Tom Brokaw's analysis. In so many words, I see a win for Romney!
Indy -
Who the hell cares what a broken down old has been like Brokaw has to say anyway?
odd, you seem to think what Joe Biden has to say is important.
I wish I could see Mitt in person.
He's hot and handsome!

My 2004 scenario is almost perfectly aligned now;
RCP average
Bush 2004- 48.9
Obama 2012-48.8

The late movement in the GE polls (despite being of potentially dubious merit) has been to the incumbent...
Yes, that 2004 scenario works for me! Romney is going to win just like Bush did!
Ol Dangerfield,
Take a look at Brokaw's assessment of the 2004 comparison. Theory shot. Link above

Just for SeekingSanity -
Hey Sannity, why don't you do yourself a favor and get educated by going to high school.
Below is what Michelle said. I guess she was never REALLY proud before. It was never debunked you idiot.
And Obama was suppose to win by a land slide?

Layton - oh you're still reading Concern's posts? I stopped that long ago - nothing but nonsense and stupidity!
Obama/Biden 2012
Concerned? citzen. I gather you didn't have your relatives be dragged in chains into this country. I also suppose you don't find it offensive that our founders enshrined slavery into the constitution. You evidently didn't have relatives involved in a fight for civil rights- integration, the right to vote- in our lifetime. None of your relatives were among the tens of thousands lynched African -Americans. You are a moron. The non-stop lies about the President since he took office certainly don't make me proud. You should be ashamed, but of course all you right wing nut jobs are completely shameless. No apologies ever for anything. Well the good news is that you can take your bull@!$%# and put it where the sun don't shine- for 4 more years at least.
Concern(ed) if you must quote, quote correctly and in context.
I know you Republicans/conservatives prefer to just pick the words you like and make them into a sentence, but that is not how it works.

What is the sound that he makes tomorrow when he loses his nuts and bolts?
"Maybe a nice oil bath will get the sand out of my joints."
Romney thought the Beatles might be there! Out of touch.
In unrelated news, Biden let the cat out of the bag when he so prophetically stated the super secret platform of the GOP. The GOP is counting down the days "to put you all back in chains."
Obama parties with Jay-Z confirmed crack dealer by his own account in his book.
America would rather have a clean, decent president who refers to the Beatles than one who hangs out with crack dealers.
Christ, what a liar. Fact check everything this 'thing' just said. Only FOX would say they are 101 percent true!
Will you give examples? I mean they are so easy to find, please share your cornucopia of knowledge with us, the unenlightened.
The new word of the day is, Polygamy!
I kind of like that word, Polygamy, hell even though I'm pushing seventy, with a little help from Viagra, hell I could take care of 7 wives!
I'm going to rescind my vote, and vote for Romney, to rejuvenate my sex life!
Now, there's a plan!
The "real" dream from Barry's father was to have as many wives as possible as well... Obama has polygamy more recently in his tree than Mitt. Not saying it is acceptable in either case, just saying to keep it relevant.
Surprise, surprise. The rednecks are excited to see a white candidate running against a black President. They're so excited they are claiming a victory based on a pro football teams last game, and telling jokes about a blonde in a hot-air balloon. I'm wondering how many of them strapped their dog to the top of the car for the ride home from the big rally?
Yeah, why waste a dog by strapping it to the roof when you can eat it?
"With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough)..."

Enough with the racism shame, it only worked in 2008, then the nation realized the liberals are the racists.
Romney/Ryan with Christie for a "bipartisan" USofA
Your immature, inexperienced and undereducated candidate referred to Big Bird and Elmo 10 times in one week while campainging, while failing to mention the economy or Libya once. Pretty bad when your candidate is a racist dunce.
Romney handed out free packs of cigs - the white trash came a runnin.
But dear lord don't let anyone say 'ghetto' or 'inner city' lest they be called a racist...
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," - Biden
Mittens has lost.
You know things aren't going well when your closing argument before the election is: VOTE FOR REVENGE. It really sucks when you're losing.
His wife has to follow him around like stinks on sh... She may as well enjoy it after tomorrow she can be Barack's Cleaning Lady !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know things aren't going well when you can't decide whether to put a (.) or a (!) after your slogan.
Looks like the supporters of Mr. Romney are bringing the kitchen sink in here tonight.

Nor the campaigns stump speech for two weeks!
Romney/Ryan 2012
Since Obama was a complete failure his first 4 years all along knowing his contract with the voter would be up for renewal after those four years what makes you think he will do anything the next four when there is no renewal?
Short timer --- lets cut him loose tomorrow.
If romney wins, you are in for a rude awakening....he'll take us back to the 20th century and the middle class will become the losers and the rich will become the winners. Plus with a two-sided Congress, do you really think he'll anything passed! Obama couldn't and neither will Romney
yeah, I mean Obama even played all of those rounds of golf with Republican congressmen, trying to influence them to vote for his initiatives....oh did he forget to invite them?
schwtz -
The 20th century had a strong middle class, unlike today under Obama.
Romney is the biggest liar of all time. You republicans have been brainwashed into thinking he is the cure all of everything. You'll have a big wake up surprise if he's elected and the middle class gets treated like crap, women's rights go back 60 years, and the rich get richer.
Not everything! Just Obama!
oh my goodness! you saved me from throwing my vote away! I can't believe I almost fell for that farce that is the Romney/Ryan plan. I mean all of the other pro-Obama arguments weren't enough to influence my decision, but schwtz72, you really make so much sense. They should send you to the "shop and save" rallies instead of Fluke.
hey dumbass...when you say womens' rights, are you talking about killing human babies???.........
Hey AlaskaGirl... I was there, waited in line for two hours and couldn't get in. Capacity crowd inside and 2-3 times the number outside were turned away.
There is no law that allows anyone to kill a baby. Dumbass - everyone who is rational is against killing babies.
