Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's planned visit to Orlando on Monday won't
happen after all.

Romney was slated to stop at a home in the Conway area of Orlando Monday afternoon for
what was being billed as an "Orlando Housing Roundtable."


Instead, after an event in Wisconsin tonight, Romney will campaign Monday in Florida, while
Ryan will travel to Iowa, Bechdel said.

Romney will travel from St. Augustine to Miami, forgoing Orlando. Ryan will campaign in
Iowa, Bechdel said.

12. "appearing at the home of an unwed couple" ---Rmoney is allegedly the champion of marriage

and would dare to appear at an unwed couple's home?

Good thing he canceled THAT stop. How tawdry to appear at a place like that, especially when you're constantly spouting off about marriage between a man and a woman.

13. what's up with all the cancelations

[BlueStreak]

14. Thank you. That is interesting.

But considering that Romney is hitting other cities in Florida, that sounds like they just don't have time to catch the Orlando event, or perhaps the planning for that particular event wasn't very solid. That can happen.

What is much more interesting is that Romney isn't bringing Ryan with him. Considering the rough reception the announcement has received in the Florida press, it may be awhile before they risk taking Ryan into that minefield.

But here's a new flash. People get old in Iowa too. And Ohio. And Arizona. And Virginia.

Florida should actually be LESS of an issue, because so many of the Floridians are already past age 55, and the Ryan budget theoretically wouldn't affect them -- although it seems like that may turn out to be yet another lie.

The people who should be the most concerned about this are those age 45-55 who have already paid in a heap of money for Social Security and Medicare and could end up getting next to nothing in return.

Remember -- these are insurance programs funded by our premiums. We have already paid for these programs. Keep your hands off them.
