In reply to the discussion: Cookiegate: Romney Disses Beloved Pittsburgh Bakery [View all]blue neen
(12,322 posts)15. Romney was in western PA to test the mood of voters here.
His campaign staff (the ones who chose the food selection) set it up so Romney could be seen as connecting to "regular folks".
As usual, he came off as being out of touch. He does NOT relate to average Americans.
Romney is always saying he's a "small business guy." Once again, he proves that he just doesn't get it by dissing a popular small business.
