Romney cancels Orlando stop in Florida tour due to exhaustion (Can't handle workload!)

Presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney will be touring the state of Florida today, but he is no longer visiting Orlando, his campaign announced late Sunday night.

Romney is said to be exhausted after 48 hours of promoting his new vice presidential pick, Paul Ryan, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Romney’s Florida tour begins in St. Augustine, before heading to Miami this afternoon.

However, his new vice president running mate Paul Ryan will be in Iowa attending the Iowa State Fair.

So, he can't take the workload of the campaign, but thinks he could handle being president? Laughable.

How on earth does he expect to survive the Presidency if he can't work more than 2 days in a row?!?

something like the Cuban Missile Crisis? Too old to be president? I can't imagine this is something you would ever admit to.

Exhaustion! Can't take the grind. Either that or his advisors said plead exhaustion until we can come up with a reason why you picked Ryan.

it was pretty pitiful. I dont think he's going to do well in Florida due to the large numbers of old and or on some type of government program.

So he needs his down time. Like McCain, he is too old to handle the rigors of being a full time President. One would think Republicans would tire of nominating grumpy old men like McCain, Dole and Romney, but no.
