maxomaiBlogger Raging Chicken Press has the details of yesterday's Mitt Romney no-show:
I'm reminded of a scene from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series where Zaphod, realizing that discretion is the better part of valor, and cowardice the better part of discretion, bravely fled the scene.
I suppose it will back to loyalty oaths in to time, eh, Mitt?
Mitt Romney was supposed to kick off his “jobs and economy” bus tour at a Quakertown Wawa earlier today, but he decided to skip the scheduled event. About 400 – 500 people had gathered to greet the Republican presidential candidate – but about half of those were anti-Romney. Demonstrations in opposition to Romney were called by former Governor Ed Rendell and Fight for Philly. Romney decided to double down on Ed Rendell’s new book title, A Nation of Wusses, and skip being confronted by demonstrators, opting instead for lunch with Wawa executives. But before I go much further, I’ve got to remark that it’s really ironic that Romney wanted to kick off a “jobs” tour at an establishment that offers low wage / minimum wage jobs inside a state with a Governor and legislature that is busting middle class union jobs in favor of low-wage jobs.
