PITTSBURGH – Mitt Romney’s campaign always makes his arrivals in various cities known to the local media, and in turn the public, but never before has a crowd of this size shown up to greet him. Upon landing here in Pittsburgh, Romney’s aides appeared shocked as they crowded around the windows to check out the crowd.
And Romney was visibly moved at the site of the crowd, hundreds of supporters crammed into a parking structure just outside the airport.
Romney deplaned and walked toward a fence that separated him from the crowd, packed onto two levels of the garage.
He waved to the group with his left hand and placed his right hand over his heart for several minutes as they cheered.
Asked by ABC News how it felt to receive such a welcome, Romney turned and responded, “That’s when you know you’re gonna win.” ......

We be almost neighbors.
Wonder if those people drove up from Pittsburgh or were from Moon Township and thereabouts.
Local news here said he left the airport to meet with and thank campaign workers in Greentree.
Just voted in Bitter Clinger SWPA, never saw the lines so long.
For the first time in 4 years I am proud of America again.
I imagine they came from all around. I’ve got a buddy in Canonsburg who was there.
The boy king might just move to Hawaii early to avoid the Bengazi gate questions! I bet his wife moves early!
Wow Vet, have you seen this?!?
WOW did i need that. Thanks.
Screw it. I’m a Steeler fan now.
LOL!
Thanks very much. I will try to watch very soon!
PRAYING he wins! He MUST!
I am SO looking forward to Obama’s concession speech. Yes, I know it will be full of lies and he will be petty and mean and a sore loser etc. but it won’t change the fact that he lost and I’ll just laugh at his childishness.
You may have to wait a few days.
I got an email saying Romney’s appearance was just for the press, and that we were supposed to keep working the GOTV effort.
I’m looking forward to it too!
It could come around 2 AM and if so he’ll probably be incoherent. :)
That’s a much better shot showing the numbers of people in the crowd...Great pic.
Can’t wait to see his concession blurb either, it’ll be full of complete BS but I’ll be surprised if it comes before tomorrow sometime. He’s going to hang on until the last dog is dead and of course it won’t be his fault or anything he did. LOL!
Just voted with the wife, 2 sons later = 4 votes for Romney in deep blue NY
It took me a second to realize what I was seeing. Amazing.
It’s nice to know we may soon have a president who at least knows where his heart is. : )
I’m sure he’ll lecture us on how we missed a golden opportunity for a wonderful tomorrow because we’re all a bunch of greedy capitalist racists.
It’s not just Bush’s fault anymore, from now on it’s our fault too! LOL!
We will defeat the Marxist evil Obama tonight
