Zealous Romney fan drives 40,000 miles following campaign.

[LetTimmySmoke]

Excerpt:
The same, however, cannot be said for his most fanatical supporter, a 69-year-old former life insurance salesman and an unabashedly anti-Obama Republican from Virginia.

For the past year, Mr. Wilson has devoted himself with the single-mindedness of a college-age groupie to following Mr. Romney around the country in decidedly conspicuous style: driving a pickup truck festooned with 27 giant Romney for President posters. (The largest are the size of a refrigerator.)

Forgoing home-cooked meals and forbearing horrendous traffic, he has driven, sometimes nonstop, from Omaha to Charlotte, N.C., (19 hours), Portsmouth, Va., to Tampa, Fla., (14 hours) and Des Moines to Manchester, N.H., (22 hours), showing up, almost without fail, just in time to greet guests outside of a Romney event.

....

“I don’t think anyone has as much sweat equity in this sucker as I have,” Mr. Wilson said.

8. As hard as it is to believe, there were even fans and groupies of William Hung

who bought his records, spent money to go to his concerts, and played "She Bangs" while driving in their car. In fact I take that back. William Hung at least had a sense of humor and played his success off as a goof and it's even more perplexing that someone could possibly feel anything for Romney, anything.
