I just got back from tonight’s Grand Rapids rally for Mitt and it was great! If I had any complaint, it would be that the venue was a bit small. The media is reporting that 700 people were crammed into a space that I suspect was more appropriate for 400. Mitt held a rally in 2008 at this exact venue, and the campaign may have underestimated the amount of support that has grown for Mitt since then. (The thousand e-mails I sent to Michigan supporters I’ve identified since 2008 may have contributed to the larger than expected turnout, but I’ll never know for sure how much I helped).
I should’ve got this on video, but the handful of protestors outside the rally were depressingly ill-informed as they usually are. They were told to come and protest, but didn’t even know for sure what they were supposed to be mad at Mitt about. I don’t know if these protestors were being paid less than these, but I didn’t hear their usual “Hey hey, ho ho…” waste of time chants today. I wonder if they will ever come up with a new tune…
Also, check out our Mitt Romney Central exclusive of Mitt walking to the podium at his Grand Rapids rally:
I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by a reporter from the Grand Rapids Press immediately following the rally. I’ll post the article here if it gets published tomorrow.
Watch Mitt’s interview with the MLive/Grand Rapids Press Editorial Board below the fold.
Mitt defending his record as a conservative governor. He is amaziningly fluid, fleshing out the why of things as he answers questions w/o notes or staff. To say Mitt is smart is an understatement. We need a smart, experienced, mature, Constitution loving, conservative POTUS. Mitt is the man with Ann by his side to return America to her values and law abiding roots.
Wow, look at all those establishment people flocking around Romney.
;)
Ross, thanks much for the report. I hope your interview is published in the Grand Rapids Press!
For those of you visiting this site for the first time and trying to understand the man, Mitt Romney and thinking he is a moderate….Please use this site to do some good research.
Mitt Romney is not perfect, but he is a strong conservative and he governed as a conservative. But to actually know this, you must look under the hood and do a little study.
Please don’t just listen to the media. When you hear something that is sounds like propaganda, it probably is. If so, just come to MRC and go to the “Category” section on the right side bar and you will find tons of solid, good information that is all provable.
