Mitt Romney to Make Appearance At California GOP Convention Tonight, Introduce Meg Whitman
Romney is in Sacramento today and has already completed one of the stops on his book tour. It seems he will appear at the GOP convention as well. Hotline has the scoop:
Romney will give a five minute introduction of ex-eBay CEO Meg Whitman (R) before she gives an approximately 15 minute speech to convention delegates gathered in Santa Clara, according to Romney spokesperson Eric Fehrnstrom. Romney, who is supporting Whitman in the GOV race, is attending the convention at the request of Whitman, Fehrnstrom added.
Even though the CA GOP didn’t do the inviting, they’re quite pleased to have the potential ‘WH’12 candidate in their midst.
“Mitt Romney is a major leader in our party,” CA GOP chair Ron Nehring told Hotline OnCall. “We typically have past presidential candidates, potential presidential candidates and national Republican lay leaders at our state party convention.”
Whitman has a long history with Romney, and she has credited Romney with sparking her interest in politics.
