Mitt Romney and his campaign entourage cruised through the Philly suburbs over the weekend. On Saturday, their tour bus was scheduled to stop at a local Wawa, a popular convenience store chain in our area, where Mitt would be on tap to order a sandwich and give a short speech. Well, laying in wait for the Romney team were the not so wily Democrats, led by Mister Ed Rendell, who thought they would get their big chance to disrupt the Republicans’ ride through this so-called Blue State of ours. But things didn’t quite turn out the way Fast Eddie and his Democrat pals thought they would.

The Romney team figured out the Dem’s demolition plan and simply shifted gears by driving to another Wawa store four miles away, much to the chagrin of Rendell and his Democrat lap dogs.
That left hundreds of people and dozens of protesters — including former Gov. Ed Rendell and former Democratic U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy — standing in vain at a Wawa off the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Quakertown exit, waiting for a bus that was actually four miles away.
Asked why the change in venue, Romney quipped, “I understand I had a surrogate over there already, so we decided to pick a different place. My surrogate is former Gov. Rendell, who said we could win Pennsylvania.” The Morning Call
I not only love a good “Liberal foiled again” story, but also a story of a successful family owned, employee owned business. Too bad we don’t have WaWa’s in Nebraska.
We love WaWa. America needs that kind of entrepreneurial spirit.
I saw that MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell (don’t tell her, but she’s looking OLD) tried to edit and twist Mitt’s stop at Wawa into a Rah, Rah, Obama plug. When in the Hell did journalism die?
They’re absolute scuzballs and Mitchell is one of the lowlier varieties. I think when they stoop to this kind of unethical nonsense they give their viewers a glimpse at the face behind the liberal mask. It also makes them look desperate, which I think they are at this point.
Cute. History and all
