Romney campaigns in heavy rain and we were there!

Romney campaigns in heavy rain | Virginia | onPolitix

Got to meet Mitt Romney at the Victory Landing Park speech yesterday in the pouring down rain. My brother, Joe, was also interviewed by WAVY 10 before the speech.

Joe is a retired crane operator of 39 years and former Navy serviceman. I was very impressed in Mitt's willingness to shale everyone's hand afterward and he seemed genuinely excited to be there, even in the cold, pouring down rain.
