Ocean State Awaits Romneys Visit

     Mitt Romney has been criss-crossing the nation on his Presidential bid, but the former Massachusetts Governor finally stops in the neighboring Ocean State. Romeny will hold a town hall meeting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Wawrick Wednesday evening

     Suddenly the smallest state is getting a bigger political voice, at least for now. Mitt Romney will be here Wednesday; Ron Paul will be here next week; and discussions are underway with Newt Gingrich to come to the Ocean state as well.

     There are four other primaries that same day, including Pennsylvania where Rick Santorum would have been the home state favorite. While Gingrich and Paul hope to be competitive, analysts say Romney has the edge in the more moderate states of Delaware, Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island.
