GOP PRESIDENTIAL RACE - Covering Mitt Romney's Visit

BEHIND THE SCENES

PRESIDENTIAL RACE 2012

MITT ROMNEY VISITS CINCINNATI

Republican Presidential Hopeful, Mitt Romney, made a stop in the Cincinnati area Monday.

He spoke to hundreds of employees at Meridian Bioscience in the Village of Newtown

He focused mostly on jobs, with U.S. Senator, Rob Portman, by his side.

It was quite a different experience than Santorum's visit Friday.

It was quite the Media Frenzy...

We had to set up before 11am and leave our equipment in the room for the Secret Service to go through,  So the Photographers (the lovely men photographed above) from WLWT Cincinnati, WHIO Dayton (our photographer Chuck pictured there), WKRC Cincinnati & WCPO Cincinnati and reporters hung out at Wendy's from 11am- 1145am while the Secret Service, Police & K9 searched our items.

(Sorry Fox 19! Im not sure where you are in this photo!)

But I wanted to take their beautiful photo, since they are usually the ones behind the lens!

Photographers & Reporters waited for at least 25 minutes until Mitt Romney showed up.

He gave a 15 minute speech to the employees at Meridian Science.

Aside from the local media, CNN, CBS, ABC, AP, etc... all came to cover the event

The event was over shortly before 3pm...

Plenty of time to get interviews, log, write, edit two packages for the News at 5!

woohoo!

Good Teamwork, Chuck!
