“Mitt Romney thrills throngs of admirers in Apopka”

“.......The citizens at Apopka Amphitheater were also both ready and willing to endure some difficult conditions, and lucky they weren’t worse.

The Romney campaign said it took in RSVPs from 14,000 to 15,000 people to the event, though it did not know how many actually came. Apopka Chief Administrative Officer Richard Anderson said earlier the amphitheater had a capacity of about 10,000. The place was overflowing, and most of the last few thousand people, at least, who arrived had to fight through crawling traffic. Many people abandoned their cars along the roads’ grassy shoulders and walked a mile or more to get to the park.

But these people were happy to be there together, and having watched Romney’s debate performance last week, they were feeling like winners. They thundered a welcome when Romney and his wife, Ann, took stage, then cheered and roared repeatedly through his 23-minute speech.

They and Romney caught a major break when vicious evening thunderstorms rolled over menacingly but passed Apopka by, leaving just a few sprinkled drops.”....

Amazing! One would have thought Gov Sarah Palin was scheduled to speak. I’d bet those 15,000 left the place spotless. It warms the heart to see so many people and how God protected them them thunderous weather. They appear to be middle aged plus some more. How they must have suffered these past years. God does care, still.

Even though Romney is not *perfect*, at least he’s not a lawyer, nor a muslim. He’s a businessman who stupidly invented Romneycare. At least he’ll let it be the States decision. Even if Romney is lying about anything he’s saying presently, it’s obvious he is using his brain. He’s serious. He may be able to bring America back.
