FLOTUS visit to Ryan's alma mater looks sold out :-)

Miami University - Oxford, Ohio

Great to see such a huge crowd waiting to see Michelle this afternoon. Line stretching 5-6 blocks and growing longer every minute. Campaign worker was about 4 blocks back telling people getting in for them would be hit or miss. We decided to pack it in for the day since there was another block or two of people in line beyond that.

Miami University is in Boehner Country and it's not every day they see the kind of diversity represented in the line today. It was fun to see the frat boys across the street from this crowd sitting on their front porch, chilling with some beers (at 11:30am on a Saturday morning), making snide comments to anyone wearing Obama gear and waving a bed sheet with "Romney/Ryan in 2012" spray painted on it. An inspiring vision of the future of the republican party, especially when you look at all the issues Miami has had with their frats over the past couple years. Sheesh.

Those frat boys chillin' with a beer at 1100 in the morning are the newest Karl Rove 527 creation: "Young Alcoholic Republicans."

How they can support that pair of liars, especially after this week's exposure of the "Jeep" lie by both GM AND CHRYSLER ceos.
That lie especially impacted Ohio voters, and speaks to Romneys credibility if he ever had any. He has at least two positions on every issue. Why are they voting for him, just to get Obama out. They will do themselves more harm than they will Obama.
