This is how a struggling campaign ends: Looking for a come-from-behind miracle in an unlikely place. That’s what drew Mitt Romney to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on a bitterly chilly night before the election.
The key to a Romney victory and the state’s 20 electoral votes will be massive turnout in counties like this one to offset the Democrats’ strength in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. And as thousands flocked to the campaign rally, Republicans could hold out hope that they could do it.
I couldn’t get an exact figure for the crowd but Romney campaign folks said that 32,800 had registered for the event and that looked plausible. Many were bused in for the event. Romney said the crowd size was proof the late momentum was breaking his way.
“Just these last few weeks, our campaign has developed into a movement,” Romney told the crowd. “It is not only the size of the crowds but the depth of the commitment.”
