Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney to campaign in Bucks County (PA) on Sunday

Source: Bucks Local News

Governor Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president, will make a campaign stop in Bucks County on Sunday, Nov. 4 in an attempt to swing Pennsylvania voters his way.

According to the Romney campaign in Pennsylvania, the governor will visit Shady Brook Farm, 931 Stony Hill Road in Lower Makefield on Sunday, Nov. 4. Doors open at 2 p.m. with the event starting at 5 p.m.

All attendees will go through airport-like security and should bring as few personal items as possible. No bags, sharp objects, umbrellas, liquids, or signs will be allowed in the venue. Cameras are permitted.

So I guess this is where Team Romney hopes to lure the Obama campaign away from Ohio.

PENNSYLVANIA IS BLUE ALL THE WAY!

Every year they think they can get Pennsylvania. And they can't. Of course this is mostly because there's no other way for Mittens to get to 270, so he might as well try.

The only thing missing this year is the quadrennial poll out of New Jersey showing a five or six-point Democratic lead followed by a quick ad buy or Rethuglican visit. Of course, the hurricane probably had a lot to do with that missing piece this cycle.

Romney isn't winning Pennsylvania. Period.

telling them what they can and can't do with their bodies; the union members, the Amish, Quakers and religious freedom loving people of Bucks County. And certainly all the people whose dogs ride IN the car!

in the 8th Congressional District in 2006 (and he was one of the few who originally endorsed Obama along with my congressman Chaka Fattah when the rest were supporting Hillary) but then he lost in 2010 because voters fell asleep (the District has since been re-drawn). The county is sortof reddish-purple but low Dem turnout in off years keeps throwing it red.

It is horse country -- lots of rich people -- but it also has a large working-class population. This is the county where the second Levittown was built. It also has a lot of purely rural areas, many of which have been turned into McMansion developments over the past generation. It is also one of only two counties in PA where the frackers do not have a free hand. Mitt is there doubtless because of the first factor.

I heard it this afternoon and I could not believe my ears. I was so glad I was wearing my Obama campaign buttons. I cannot believe he is actually invading mt space.
Every day this candidate becomes more abhorant to me. I am actually becoming ill over this campaign. I want it to be over and I want The Presidentbto continue doing his job for another four years.

I want Mittens and his minions to fade into obscurity. They really frighten me. Just look at the security measures!! Yardley PA is a vert quiet, peaceful town. There is no crime. No unrest. Sunny Brook is where the Halloween Festival is held. There are farms there, churches, and office condos.
Yardley is an upscale neighborhood. The town itself is full of small quaint shops, restaurants, and a library with a duck pond.

This is where the Romney campaign finds it necessary to bring in heavey duty security measures!?

This is a man who is, as far as I am concerned dangerous and out of touch with the people of this country. I am staying home and watching movies or reruns of The West Wing.
