SIDNEY, Ohio -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney received a warm reception on a cold evening at the Shelby County Fairgrounds Wednesday as he addressed a crowd estimated at more than 8,500 people, more than eight times the number expected to turn out.

Chris Gibbs, chairman of the Shelby County Republican Party, said the event was a "huge undertaking" but was an undeniable success.
"The Romney team was meticulous in organizing, and the ability to put on a production like this in such a short amount of time is fantastic," Gibbs said.
Attendance far surpassed the initial projection of about 1,000.
"I was initially concerned there were still folks outside when the program started," Gibbs said. The line stretched several deep the whole length of the fairgrounds and most of the way around the racetrack as the thousands patiently moved in.

Enthusiasm is surging in Ohio!
Bump!
Wow... GREAT news!
Bet they left the area relatively garbage free. Unlike the rat pigs.
I suppose they were giving away Obamaphones (g)
This is beyond GREAT.. This is HUGH AND SERIES!!!!!
Obama, hopefully, is toast.
Thanks for putting this in perspective because your summation that it shows great enthusiasm appears to be totally justified.
Good stuff!

He is!...........
My fervent hope is that this is the harbinger of what November 6 will bring, a landslide so powerful and so deep that they Rats won’t believe it. I want to see liberal talking heads and newsies heads explode............
a Crowd of 8,500 is equal to about 40% of the town of Sidney - population 21,000
minus children and people still at work, I’d say 40% of the town’s population might represent MOST of the adults
“”I can’t think of anything that fell through the cracks,” he said. He complimented Sidney’s police force and said there were no problems from anyone in the crowd.
Lenhart said the sheriff’s office had about 15 personnel working the site, while the Sidney Police Department provided an additional 11 people. No mutual aid was called in for other county law enforcement agencies. The Sidney Fire Department provided fire and medical support, but there were no problems.”
Thanks Tony for the great news. A total of 26 police personnel for 8,500 people with nary a problem. Well done Ohio!
No way any photo can capture a crowd of that size, but I was hoping you might find a pic to add...thanks!
LET’s ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That sounds surprising, but that is pretty typical for Western Ohio. I live two counties north, in Putnam County, which has a population of about 34,000. Our crime rate is such that most nights, we have three road deputies on duty. :)
The Obamabots are getting very nervous as evidenced by the trolls who are commenting on that website.
