Showing Original Post only (View all)Romney says '30K attend OH rally' - BUT Secret Service says just 15K went through metal detector [View all]
Good Lord - Do they feel they have to lie about everything?
The campaign announced that 30,000 people attended, but Secret Service sources said just 15,000 went through metal detectors. And local law enforcement counted the crowd at 18,000.

At this point, he knows he will lose, but is trying to avoid a humiliating loss.
