Romney stops in KC, eats barbecue



KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -

Gov. Mitt Romney made an unscheduled stop at Kansas City International Airport Sunday afternoon and got to enjoy some Kansas City barbecue.

Romney was traveling from his home in the Boston area to Los Angeles where he was to give a speech Sunday night.

The GOP presidential candidate was scheduled to appear in Colorado for a campaign rally, but a crash at the Pueblo airport led to cancellation of the event.

That resulted in Romney needing a new mid-country stop to refuel. He chose Kansas City and his plane landed about 4:30 p.m.

There wasn't enough time to put together a motorcade and police escort for him to go to an actual restaurant.

So Air Charter Team put together a catered meal for Romney, his staff and the press corp. Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue was the food of choice.

Colorado belongs to Obama, lock, stock and barrel.

Obama would make an unexpected walk-in just to eat, and welcomes the people.

Mitt caters out, and avoids the people.
