Update: Romney Cancels Plans For Wednesday Rally in Oldsmar

Local supporters are spreading the word.

 

Update 7:45 p.m. Sept. 9:

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has canceled plans to attend a Sept. 12 rally in the Tampa Bay area.

According to Art Wood, chairman of the Hillsborough County Republican Party, "the Mitt Romney campaign has canceled their Wednesday evening rally in Oldsmar."

Wood said in an email that the rally would be rescheduled but that no firm date has yet been offered.

The chairman had sent an earlier email alerting supporters to "block off the time" to show their support for the former Massachusetts governor's presidential bid.

Earlier:

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney plans to make a stop in the Tampa Bay area Wednesday night to rally supporters to his side.

The former Massachusetts governor is expected to host a public event somewhere in the Oldsmar area Sept. 12 and officials from the Hillsborough County Republican Club are working to get the word out.

“I've gotten the word that Gov. Romney will be staging a public rally at 8 p.m. in Oldsmar on this Wednesday evening,” wrote Art Wood, chairman of the Hillsborough County Republican Club, in an email.

While more details aren’t available at this time, including the location for the visit, Wood is working to get supporters to pencil in the time on their calendars.

“Please block off the time so that we can show the world how much support there is for Gov. Romney in Hillsborough County,” he wrote.

Actually there are thousands of us white senior citizens that don't live in Sun City. Perhaps you and others should take your race bating elsewhere.

I don't feel bad for Romney, I'd like to, but I can't. It is amazing to me, however, how he (and other republicans like him) have been able to convince the very people he intends to put at great disadvantage through the loss of services like Medicare (that they paid all their lives to support) to vote for him anyway against their own interests?

Any time a presidential candidate like Mitt decides to come to town, even Oldsmar, we should be excited! This country needs someone like Mitt to run it! Obamanation is ruining this country all because he doesn't want to admit that yes he was delt a rough hand, but what he has done the last 4 years has made it worse.

we never had the best healthcare in the world and Canadian did come down as the Canadian system is the worst in universal covered 1st world counties but they cover every one(we only cover about half) for hundreds of trillion of dollar less in fact the best heath care in France and if we could mirror it here it would cover everyone from cradle to grave and cost several trillion less a year

The people of the state of Ohio need to know that the republicans are a BIG part of the prescription drug abuse problem we have . Florida is one of the worst states for prescription drug abuse . The republicans in Florida fought for over 7 years against the database . First they claimed privacy issues and when that did not fly, they went on to budget issues . Under severe pressure they passed a watered down version of a database . The doctors are not required to report the controlled substance scripts they write . The drug dealers love this . They can go to 10 doctors a day and get as many scripts as they want . They pay cash and there is no paper trail . This country needs a national prescription drug database , not just state by by state . Just like we have a national drivers license database . In Florida the republicans would only pass the watered down database if the tax payers did not have to pay for it . They figure the cost to be 1 million a year to keep the database on line , so do the math . I dont believe anyone other than the republicans would disagree to pay for it. The money was never the issue anyway . The issue is that the republicans protect the profits the drug companies and doctors make . For this one reason alone I would never vote for a republican . Please vote for Obama in 2012 .
