SIDNEY, Ohio -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney received a warm reception on a cold evening at the Shelby County Fairgrounds Wednesday as he addressed a crowd estimated at more than 8,500 people, more than eight times the number expected to turn out.

Chris Gibbs, chairman of the Shelby County Republican Party, said the event was a "huge undertaking" but was an undeniable success.

"The Romney team was meticulous in organizing, and the ability to put on a production like this in such a short amount of time is fantastic," Gibbs said.

Attendance far surpassed the initial projection of about 1,000.

"I was initially concerned there were still folks outside when the program started," Gibbs said. The line stretched several deep the whole length of the fairgrounds and most of the way around the racetrack as the thousands patiently moved in.

This has been my prayer for some time, as well as having Obama and all his minions utterly unmasked and held up as a global laughingstock for the inept fools that they are.

Good pix - it tells the story! Americans coming together for one goal - bye bye barry!

If it would have been cost-effective, someone could’ve marketed the Obama is Toast toaster starting about two years ago. Today’s novelty gift, tomorrow’s collectible.

Meanwhile, in Cleveland, the free-obamaphone crowd is busy protesting billboards that say "Vote fraud is a felony." It seems that reminding people of the law is racist and oppressive and the race-baiter blacks just won't stand for it.

The self-appointed black "leaders" apparewntly think ordinary blacks don't know how to vote legally and might get askeered if they was to be caught voting two or three times.

We put our Romney/Ryan sign up Monday. Haven’t had anything thrown through the window yet. We are starting to see a few more Romney signs. A lot more than obama signs.

most cameras and many cell phones have “panorama shot” settings where it stiches muliple shots into one long shot.

you just press, pan, and when you reach the 180 or 360 setting it stiches it all together.
