Lebanon, Ohio

A great speech in Lebanon yesterday, as Ohio polls continue to narrow
"About a week ago, I had a debate. ...and I did enjoy myself."
With that opening line, Mitt Romney had a massive crowd of 11,000 people eating out of his hand. The huge attendance caused the audience to spill over its initial boundaries and through the streets surrounding the stage. It was the latest event for Romney, who's now put in a staggering 34 Ohio appearances in his bid to win the must-have state.
The speech, which focuses on the greatness of our nation, is a breath of fresh air for political wonks who've endured the last three years of morose, overly apologetic, presidential navel-gazing.
According to the numbers, the positivity is working. After last week's debate, most respected Buckeye polls show the two candidates in a statistical dead heat, with the Real Clear Politics Average showing Obama up by only 1.3 percent. Before the first debate, Obama was leading by a little over 8 points.
Perhaps more importantly, as the polls tighten, the size of Romney’s crowds is surging dramatically. People are finally excited about his candidacy. Obviously the momentum is in Romney's favor so, if he performs well in his second debate Tuesday night, it's likely that he'll pull ahead.
Here's the video of his Saturday speech, which is well worth watching.
Beautiful!
“if he performs well in his second debate Tuesday night, it’s likely that he’ll pull ahead”...so much so that the lamestream media have to acknowledge he’s out of the theft margin.
There. Fixed it.

Please watch and forward in support of our troops.
The population of Lebanon, Ohio is 20,400.
Reminds me of the last time I went to Disneyland. ;^)
Positive is the way to go. People want to vote for the winner.
Wow !
Looks and tastes like Democracy.
Positive is the way to go. People want to vote for the winner.
I heard that obammy drew a crowd of almost 2,000 the other night..........
Exactly. The trend is vital.
I was dispirited in 2008 because even weeks before it was clear we had no chance whatsoever despite me probably latching onto any signs that the polls were wrong etc.
But, this year....entirely different. Never underestimate how much people want to vote for a winner.
Nice! Romney can draw crowds without Springsteen and Bubba.
Thanks ETR. Will do!
It was not an epic failure. He was playing to the base because they were dispirited. It did not move the needle but he was trying to steb the tide of discouragement among Obama's supporters. He thought he as at the Democrat convention.
stem the tide
Great pictures. They actually gave me goosebumps. Love it!
Well, I sure hope so. Another four years of Obozo sure isn’t something I want to see.
Joe Biden put on his MSNBC hat and acted just like them. Anyone who watches MSNBC knows that is exactly how they behave..they scream, they taunt, they laugh at you, that is the typical progressive behavior..MSNBC loved it, the rest of us wanted to vomit..in fact, I read that the ratings for the VP Debate were down 21 percent from 2008..even I was disgusted enough to leave the room, I couldn’t stand seeing Biden behave like that anymore
