Hi, Kathryn Jean – I just saw Mitt Romney speak at a rally in the warehouse at Bassett Furniture in Fountain Valley, California, which is in Orange County. He was introduced by Dana Rohrabacher, who presented him with a surfboard. There were probably several hundred people there, with many who had to stand outside, but I don’t know how to estimate the size of the crowd. The energy in the room was great, however. Romney described John McCain’s answer to one of the economics questions at the debate as sort of a stream-of-consciousness walk. Aside from that, it was probably his usual speech. Before the speech, they played Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” over the sound system. Another one was ”I’ve Been Everywhere.” Maybe they need a better music programmer??
