Thank you to everyone who came out to last week’s Ladybug Festival! It was a huge success and we are definitely doing it again.

Romney was booed continuously on Wednesday and Thursday as part of the campaign is calling its “double reverse charm offensive” which was launched at the NAACP convention in Houston last month.

“We put the emphasis on offensive,” a source close to the campaign stated. “The more snobby British people and blacks appear to not like Romney the more popular he becomes to our base.” Adding, “We hope Romney goes into November as the most hated candidate of the modern era.”
