Romney Rally Roadtrip

Someone stole my Romney-Ryan yard sign...

So a road trip was needed to get another sign!

Romney came to Portsmouth, OH today, about 60 miles up the road.

He was very energetic, funny, patriotic, and spoke from the heart!

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is recovering ground in the critical swing state of Ohio as he rises in the polls and crowd numbers swell after his strong debate performance last week against President Barack Obama.

No Republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio. Romney looks determined to put the state in his win column in the November 6 election after it appeared nearly out of reach last month.

After Saturday, Romney will have done 34 events in Ohio since securing the Republican nomination in April. Eleven of those, including a bus tour, came after the first debate on October 3.

Before the debate, polls showed Obama leading in Ohio by as much as 8 percentage points. From October 4 to October 10, the RealClearPolitics.com average of polls showed Obama's lead at 1.3 points.

Romney also assailed Obama for not labeling China a currency manipulator on Friday. The U.S. Treasury delayed a semi-annual currency report until after a meeting of the Group of 20 finance ministers on November 4 and 5, which makes it unlikely the report will be released before Election Day.

"Do you know what they said? 'We're not going to make any determination until after the election,'" Romney said. "Let me tell you, on day one of my administration, I will label China a currency manipulator. We've got to get those jobs back and get trade to be fair."

Well done, Mitt, and come back soon!

We were bemoaning the fact we didn't even have $1 to buy three postcards, and this man heard us and shared one of his postcards with us. So sweet! A true American

Miller was on a mission to collect all the flags everyone left behind...on the ground!

And, we collected a few other signs on the way out.
