More 300 people gathered Tuesday atop a parking garage at Pittsburgh International Airport to catch a glimpse of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Romney arrived at the airport just before 3 p.m. Police are keeping onlookers at a distance from the Atlantic Aviation terminal where Romney arrived. No rallies in the area appear to be planned.
“I think just the energy and excitement of being here with other supporters is exciting,” said Valerie Bartels, 46, of Mount Washington. Her husband Brian Bartels, 51, said he was a little disappointed that Romney wasn’t expected at public events Tuesday in the region.
“But I understand the safety concerns as well as the security concerns,” he said.
The Romney campaign did not immediate respond to a request for comment.
“I was just hoping to feel the energy of the crowd. But at this point, I’d be happy just to see his airplane,” said Joni Tierney, 48, of Cranberry Township.

Now that’s enthusiasm, and just to greet him and get a glimpse of him from a distance...Most encouraging!
OK. I guess a thousand IS technically "more than 300".
Romney left nothing on the table and waged the best possible campaign we could have hoped for IMHO.
LET’S ROLL!!!
Honestly, it brings tears to my eyes. To me, it says “Return and restore our nation, please!”
