DEVELOPING: Senior Romney national campaign official tells MN GOP a visit to MN by Romney and/or Ryan for campaign rallies being considered.— Tom Hauser (@5hauser) October 28, 2012

PLEASE!! It would mean so much to many of us!

[GlockThe Vote]

I live in NYC. Tell me about it.

You’re being ignored? I live in the People’s Republic of NY. At least Ryan visited PA.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

I'm not saying Romney should ignore PA or MN. This time Romney has a big war chest and can afford to spend on advertising and organization, especially GOTV efforts in states where they may be behind but are close.

The problem is, there is only one candidate. His time on the road is limited and running for President is a physical challenge. I could see Romney making a swing through suburban Pittsburgh but campaigning across the state would take time that he doesn't have left.

Get on in there, guys. Time to launch the liberation drive of Minnesota!

[aposiopetic]

What is Pawlenty doing these days? Can he help the campaign at all, or is he no longer much admired in MN?

Hello? How about SE Michigan......

Since the Romney/Ryan campaign has to shift resources from states like Virgina that are effected by Hurricane Sandy this is a wise decision to go and campaign elsewhere.
The Romney/Ryan campaign had better be back on the ground in any way to help or care about those who are effected by the Hurricane because we know very well the left and MSM will crucify them if they seem out of touch.
Can the Romney/Ryan campaign call for people to also send in money/food/cloths/first aid supplies/ and ask the campaign to find people with trucks and cars to help evacuate people and help to send supplies to charities to help those who are effected by the Hurricane ?

[American Constitutionalist]

Romney campaign ?

Please send out a alert to call for people in those states or surrounding states to help others in need that are effected by the hurricane.
The Romney campaign needs to win the PR campaign in this storm.

I just got a call to join a victory rally Fri. here in Ohio. We have had plenty of attention. I’d like to see him bring in more states. Ohio needs to realize Mitt can win without them. It would be harder but it could be done. Time for Ohio to quit holding out until the last minute just for attention.

That said...GO MITT!!!!

My friend, presidential campaigns don’t base these decisions on democrat polls. They have their own in-house polling, i.e., “internal polling.” The campaigns also talk to the folks on the ground in Minnesota to guage where the race is at. With Michele Bachmann on the ticket in the suburbs, Romney/Ryan know one thing for sure: every Republican, from the ultra-conservative Christians to the worthless as blanks on a bull Establishment Republicans will be coming out to vote.

[IsaacDian]

Romney isn’t dumb enough to trust the media polls...he knows they are all against him. If he goes to Minnesota, it’s because he has his OWN polling showing he can win it. Period.

Romney is very smart. People must stop underestimating him - look what happened when Obama made that mistake ;)

[InABunkerUnderSF]

Welcome to FR. Both of you. :-)

[RugerMini14]

MN was only +10 for Obama in ‘08.

I expect a shift of at least +7 to Romney nationally. And MN is lily white, so the Obamaphone crowd is not there to vote in the numbers they have in the rest of the urban areas.

Even in Minnesota, I expect people are tired of being told the only reason they dislike the Socialist in Chief is because they’re evil racists. I would be surprised, but not shocked, if RR carried MN.

[Anti-Hillary]

You do realize that they rely on there internals and NOT commercial polls???? Ohio is in the bag. has been for awhile.

[Perdogg]

in 2000, Bush had a rally in South Florida the weekend before the election.

Kenny,

I can’t see PA from my house!
