It will be the same location where "W" visited while campaigning for McDonnell. Indoors inside a hanger. People will be bused in just like before. He will be in and out for a quick visit. "W" did the same thing when Kilgore was running for Governor also.

The Martin Air hanger looked and felt like a can full of sardines.

Because SCOTUS is 5-4

Well ....

Romney & Ryan will appear 2PM Friday at the Richmond International Airport.

Clever, huh?

"""Explain to me again why I should vote for these Neocons?""""

Why vote for neocons? If you really own a gun and you really believe in the 2nd You vote for Romney because it is hanging by the next heart attack of a conservative justice. If the Pres. is reelected he will put one maybe 2 new members on the court which will freeze any advancement in regaining our rights. Also remember that the issue is no where near settled as to where when and what you can carry/own and these issue are working there way through the federal courts on the way to SCOTUS now. SO as gun owners we should be busting it to elect Romney even if he is a .....

George Allen was there -- anyone else?

George Allen was there, along with Eric Cantor:

Ryan says campaign will offer solutions
Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan told a crowd at a private hangar at Richmond International Airport this afternoon that he and Mitt Romney would "get the American dream intact again"

Ryan, introduced by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-7th, described Romney as a "principled leader" whose campaign would be more than a referendum on President Barack Obama's policies.

...

U.S. Senate candidate George Allen took the stage at the Martinair hangar telling the young people in the crowd, "this campaign's for you."

Noting the nation's high underemployment, Allen said "people don't go to college to move back home."

Allen was also critical of last year's bipartisan debt deal, calling it "another failure of leadership in Washington," citing looming defense cuts.

Claiming that Democrats' plan to avoid the deep cuts was tax hikes, he said that members of the Armed Forces "should never be used as a political bargaining tool to raise taxes on job-creating small business owners."

Allen's speech was briefly interrupted when an overheated woman in the crowd swooned.

After someone called for a medic, the woman recovered and Allen commented, "That's dedication. That's the dedication we're going to need."

Swooned! really?

I am holding my nose and voting the Rethuglican ticket because I believe we can't survive another O term.

The fight never ends, no matter the puppet party. Remember, the bankers own us all. Until we cut them down to size and the rule of law is re-established, slavery is substituted for real freedom.
