Romney camp cancels Orlando stop scheduled in Florida tour due to exhaustion
Source: ABC
Presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney will be touring the state of Florida today, but he is no longer visiting Orlando, his campaign announced late Sunday night.
Romney is said to be exhausted after 48 hours of promoting his new vice presidential pick, Paul Ryan, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Romneys Florida tour begins in St. Augustine, before heading to Miami this afternoon.
However, his new vice president running mate Paul Ryan will be in Iowa attending the Iowa State Fair.
Democrats suggest Ryan's presence on the ticket could hurt Romney among Florida voters because of Ryan's well-known budget proposals.

(2,529 posts)The call would be from overseas, where Mitt outsourced all government communications, with some East Indian dude telling him that some guy was holding a backpack nuke on the Eiffel Tower and Mitts would say, "Oh, how wonderful! Tell him to enjoy his visit. I know I enjoyed mine!" *click*

Ryan, 42 yrs. young and a nut case, would be the "President."

That's just my impression.
What candidate is going to say " exhausted" at this stage of the game.
What has he been doing that would tire him out so soon?

The Romney attitude is one of entitlement and looking at the election as a chore.

Rozlee
(2,529 posts)was running around the country like he was 18 years old, glad handing and still making stump-speeches. He was the one I kept thinking would wilt like a petunia, and face it, he already looked embalmed, poor man. Romney's too pampered; he's traveled in too rarified circles and gotten used to adulation from family, friends and the business world. He's had a rude awakening from Rethugs that aren't in love with him and an entire planet that's derisive of him.

I can recall GW going to the ranch for R and R, probably Rehap that didn't work.
What I can't recall is GW actually saying he was too tired when he was running for office.

(5,290 posts)I have a feeling your going to see a lot less of the embarrassment known as Romney the next two months. He's going to be hiding in the shadows of this newly picked butt-boy as Ryan fires up the mouth-foaming conservative ideologues. Romney is the biggest pansy I've ever seen run for office. He'll let Ryan do the dirty work.

We are just having too much fun for this early in the campaign. Just imagine what the conventions and the debates will be like.

(1,418 posts)how is anyone supposed to support this guy?
schedule a bit too tough for a ONE percenter?? gimme a break.
BTW, I'd be "exhausted", too, if I had to go around in total denial all the time,
running from MSM, worrying about what moranic gaffe I'd be busting out
with next like:
"I'd like to introduce you to the next President of the U.S."
??? the guy can't even read from his own script! wow...

goclark
(30,404 posts)that would make him exhausted.
He has not turned in his taxes and will not because he knows what's in them.
He must think we will stop asking for them if we believe he is "exhausted" --- wrong again Mittwit!
He thinks the KBro$ will keep picking up the tab, and they will .......
He forgets that he has a real "job" as the Head of his Party.
He insults other countries and doesn't even say sorry.
He refused to even watch his wife's rich horse perform and not win.
How could any person with an social IQ higher than 20% make such a stupid statement?
He doesn't have a real job now other than telling lies.
If he is exhausted now, how would he have the energy to be President?
I still believe he will get out of the race.
He says the same 10 words on every stop -- no zing in his voice.
Horrible public speaker.
There is no "there, there" with this sociopath
He has enough money to pay a smart staff - they are either as stupid as he is or they don't give a shit just so they get paid.
And, he was stupid enough to site "exhaustion" instead of a family emergency. He could have easily said that one of his family members was not feeling well but nooooo- he allowed them to quote him as "exhausted."
Keep it coming Mittwit!

I wasn't a Bill Clinton fan, but that guy WORKED hard every day when he was in office. If he wasn't making decisions as President, he was reading books and news magazines to gather more information. Bill Clinton earned his salary as President.
Romney will be Dubya II. Dubya I worked only 2-4 hours a day and took scheduled naps.
