Breaking: Romney campaign to hit the road with 100 surrogates


Romney campaign to hit the road with 100 surrogates

(CNN) – Mitt Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, will kick off a four-day tour starting Friday, where they'll be joined by their wives and 100 surrogates in the final days of the White House race, his campaign announced Wednesday.

The tour starts off with a rally in West Chester, Ohio. Featured guests that day include former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

In the four days before Election Day, the surrogates will fan out across eleven battleground states: Colorado, Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Once again Romney thinks if he can just carpet bomb everything he can make a difference. Needless to say all those people are getting paid as well.

Hard to take their claim seriously that they feel they can win there without at least stepping foot inside the state. It was all a bluff.

Or if they do cover any of the events then hopefully the cameras will pan around showing small crowds

Romney is complaining and lying about the president again. Not a good contrast.

of Romney surrogates, IMO. It's just too bad that Clinton can't be everywhere at once.

At least some Romney surrogates are at least as unlikable as Romney, so this push now could even be counterproductive - except among the already converted.

He's desperate to cobble together 270, and with Ohio out of reach, he's Hail Marying in Mich, Wis and Pa.

Won't work, but he's gotta take a shot.
