LOL. Romney will campaign with Jack Nicklaus in OH, going after that elusive "swing" golfer vote.

From the Columbus Dispatch:

Golf legend Jack Nicklaus will be the featured guest at a campaign event for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Westerville on Wednesday.

The event will be held at the Alum Creek Park Amphitheatre at 221 West Main St. at 8 a.m., with gates opening at 6 a.m. Attendees will go through airport-like security and are advised to bring as few personal items as possible. Tickets can be reserved at: www.mittromney.com/states/ohio.

Nicklaus' appearance with Romney will kickoff the second day of a two-day bus tour. In addition to Westerville, Romney is scheduled to visit Dayton, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo on the Tuesday and Wednesday bus tour..

Not the best choice of celebrity for Romney to campaign with in Ohio, unless they have internal polls showing they're in danger of losing the country-club vote.

1. They need to keep any empty chairs off the stage.

He might try to immitate Clint.

2. Yeah, if Romney is worried about the country club golfer vote, he is in big trouble. nt

[patrice]

3. wow. golf. He wasn't kidding about that 53%, but make that more like 25%. nt

4. Romney just doesn't get it, does he?

Things like this just emphasize what a wealthy dork he is. Campaign events featuring "country club" visits don't go over very well with the average person.
Unlike President Obama who makes a stop at a pizza place to recognize the owner for his blood drives for his community, stops at a Children's Hospital to see a terminally ill child, takes a minute to talk to a survivor of the Colorado theater shooting.

What else can I say, Romney just brings all his woes on himself.

5. Those obscenely-rich white men must stick together (and I was a huge JN fan).

6. Rmoney can't do anything right. First, the photo with the coal miners

was a total bomb -- ever see a collection of folks without one smile? Now, he shows his country club connections.

7. Romney just wants Jack's tips on how to get out of the rough

And sand traps. And water hazards. And...

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. Well, that should wipe the "elitist" charge right off of him

What, dude couldn't find a famous polo player?

9. Just One More Reason

to hate Fat Jack. Suck it Nicklouse!

[pinboy3niner]

10. Jack's advice could be crucial...

...because it looks like Romney will be replacing his divots all the way up to the election.

11. Honestly, though, Jack's an Ohio hero

I'd like to dismiss it, and yes, Jack's a little past the height of his relevance, but until anything changes, Columbus produced the best golfer the world has ever seen, and Ohio folks tend to take pride in things like that.
