Lt Gov Bill Bolling

Former (and hopefully future) Sen. George Allen

Gov. Bob McDonnell

Mitt Romney

Paul Ryan... the new guy on the team!

The Romney family looks on...

...As do the Ryans.

Romney works the rail...

Both candidates greet the folks.

Thanks! Everybody definitely had a great time. It’s good to see an injection of excitement into this ticket. Looks like Ryan brings that.

Great pictures. Almost as good as being there. I noticed Ryan wiped his face a few times, was it hot there too?

Thanks for posting! Ryan looks so - well, normal. Especially compared to that freak in the White House!

Scott, these photos rock!

I can't remember, were you in the front row? Wish I could’ve been there. I was feeling the energy watching on the TV, but I'll bet being their must have been awesome!

Thanks again for posting these!

Great shots! I just attended the Ashland rally. I think it had all the same participants including Allen. The crowd was large (moved from a smaller venue) and much larger than what Barry did a couple of weeks ago in Henrico. Ryan was on top of his message.

Yep! In addition to the typical humidity we have this time of year, the high-intensity media lights were adding to the heat as well.

He is exactly that. When he came around shaking hands, he and his wife and kids seemed like any young family we'd see at church. He's a strikingly regular guy. I told him of my having once lived in Kenosha, WI for a few years and he seemed genuinely interested in what brought me there. When I shook his wife's hand, I said to her, "you're in for an interesting ride!" She replied, "Oh yeah.. that's what I hear!"

Romney made a fine choice in selecting Paul Ryan.

I sure was!! Couldn't believe it, when we arrived in the area, the VIPs had taken the bleachers to the back, leaving the barricades wide open. I took the position directly in front of the podium behind the barricade no more than 20 feet away. It was great!!!

And yes, the energy was alive... it was inspiring. I have a lot of renewed hope our side will knock that POS out of the White House in November.

I love all the gray steel in the background.

Check it out Putin in Russia and WingWang in China. Just a little message to y’all.

These guys aren’t planning on a peace time military, I don’t think.

These are great photos!

I’d been at work all day so missed the original speeches but just watched them both live in Manassas and was amazed. Ryan ENERGIZES Romney. This is a wise choice and I’m just so relieved not to hear how bad we are, how awful America is and how the damned government can fix it all.

It was wonderful to watch...like a breath of FRESH air.

Sure hope you Virginians get George Allen back in the Senate.

Nice photos. It's great when Freepers are able to report on events firsthand.

The Aquafresh "R" Romney has as his logo doesn't need updating for Ryan either.
