Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is wasting no time sending his new running mate on the road on his own.

Pretty gutsy move from someone who isn’t the
nominee yet.

Isn’t this the fair that inspired the play and film “State Fair”? Wasn’t Pat Boone in the film?

I was with the Des Moines and Clive offices of Iowa Workforce Development from 1988 to 2000 and we facilitated all the hiring at the State Fair. One year I took a job myself, working nights at the State Fair office (pretty much the only air conditioned building on the fairgrounds, at least back then) and enjoyed it. That was the year that the food vendor was shot by his son-in-law.

Citizens of Iowa, Voters in Iowa, Kindly turnout and give Paul Ryan a massive, rousing, positive welcome in Iowa on Monday. Make the Obama visit look paltry and failing as all his recent events have been (Lightly attended). Just remember, folks, it is your magnificent country you are saving by supporting Romney/Ryan, rather then “destroy America”, Obama/Biden and their anti-American Democrat party!!!
