None of these stops surprise me except Obama going to Florida; from what I read, its near-safe for Romney. I am surprised Romney is not going to Wisconsin, maybe he’s leaving it up to Ryan to pull him through. Interesting that both Romney and Obama will be in Dubuque, IA on Saturday. More emphasis by both camps on IA and NH than I expected.
Without a doubt, their focus groups tell the campaign which of the 2 plays better to each individual state. Clearly, based on his schedule, Ryan resonates with OH very well.
Paul Ryan is a native WI son and he is very popular there.
Without him, I would say WI would go to Obama but Romney appears to have it in his columns because Cheeeseheads love Ryan!
Going to Dubuque provides Iowa and Wisconsin exposure.
Romney was in Milwaukee yesterday morning and drew a big crowd at a morning rally.
