Oct 2012

I thought at first it was a Romney rally.. I mean ONLY ROmney.

Now that I read the story, they could NOT give away enough tickets, then just opened it up to social media that there was a free Kid Rock and Atkins concert in the park... That is why everyone showed up. They gave up the original idea of trying to have it be a political event, because people weren't interested.

I think the media would be dishonest in saying that this was a Romney crowd. This was a free concert crowd... and there was no effort, after the original plans to make it a Romney thing, to make sure it was his supporters. I'm sure that the majority of people when to the bathroom when Romney came onstage.

And giving away free tickets online that oversold the place, was incredibly dumb. Wow... Another social media fail by the romney camp.

Oh and GOSH.. ANOTHER big Romney event within 8 hours of driving time from UTAH!!! LOL. They're so obvious.

Kid Rock.. gross.
