Protesters to Romney supporters: 'How's it feel to back the loser?'
By Jo Piazza / current.com / @jopiazza
Protesters mocked attendees at a fundraiser for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Friday morning at the swanky Union League in Philadelphia. The fundraiser was expected to raise more than $3.5 million for the candidate.
As buttoned-up Romney supporters left the breakfast, protesters (who gathered prior to 8 a.m. with bagels, coffee and cheesesteaks) harangued them for wasting their money on a candidate that the polls say is losing.
"How's it feel to back a loser?" one protestor yelled.
The group, holding signs that said "Mitt 'Rob Me'" and "Lyin' Ryan," chanted: "Save your money, Obama's gonna win!"
One Romney staffer cutting through the crowd was asked the question: "How's it feel to have to walk through this rabble?"
The candidate himself told the crowd inside the hallowed Union League that he realized most people would be surprised if he won Pennsylvania in November. "We really would shock people if early in the evening on Nov. 6 it looked like Pennsylvania was going to come our way," Romney said.
Romney slipped out a side alley exit following the event. Protesters swarmed the cars yelling: "Shame, shame, shame."

I hope all of these folks are correct in proclaiming that the President will win; but I'm one of those cautious types who has to see the last out made in a baseball game before I say it's over.
On Nov 6th, if Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia goes the Presidents way, then I'll begin to celebrate.
