Bigger crowd than I expected, but not massive. Some protestors outside the event and a plane flying around how no president should let Detroit (GM, Chrysler) go bankrupt (it did, read a paper). Pretty good natured barbs between supporters and the few protestors (really not that many) with their 99% Obama - Romney is President of the 1% signs.
Not a bad speech focused primarily on economy - small to medium sized businesses. Romney did seem personable, but you really can't judge when you are only up close for a brief instant. He worked the crowd very well one on one when shaking hands. In fact, I was surprised how well he was in the one on one situations - because he does seem stiff or at least is portrayed that way.
Romney ran to Lake Michigan and got his feet wet with his wife (who spent part of her childhood living in a city on the lake).
The crowd really could have cared less for the local politicians and were real quiet when they were on the stage beforehand. However, they did get loud when Romney finally showed up a few minutes late. It was 91 degrees and hot. The event ran real smooth, plenty of air conditioned buses to bring in people from the parking 3 miles down the road smoothly.
Besides the Kid Rock song, and patriotic songs, they only played country music.
A staffer approached us and took a picture of my baby wearing a Romney onesie, because he is so cute, and said he would try to get it on the website! My dad got interviewed by the news, not sure if he made it on air.
Do you know how true bankruptcy works you have to go through court and it can take up to 2 yrs to get it taken care of did they do this no
Romney clearly said if they get bailed out they will fail watch the video I posted he says that start at 0:48
