The Bloomfield Hills native returned for a pair of stops on behalf of her husband and fellow Cranbrook graduate Mitt Romney.
Ann Romney campaigned in Bloomfield Township on Friday at a pair of stops to help rally local support for her husband, Republican Party Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney. She attended a rally this morning in Hudsonville, Michigan—near Grand Rapids—and also stopped by the Franklin Cider Mill, according to Channel 7's website. The local campaign stop also included a private fundraiser at a home along Long Lake Road that snarled traffic near the Franklin Road intersection for about 30 minutes early Friday afternoon. Multiple Bloomfield Township police officers helped direct traffic, while the campaign bus parked at the Bloomfield Township Municipal Complex nearby. The Bloomfield area has been fertile fundraising territory for the Romneys, who …

Visit to Commerce was vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's first since being named to the GOP 2012 ticket.
COMMERCE — With the way the crowds packed into Long Family Orchard Friday, you may have thought that there was a run on its signature sweet corn crop. The Mitt Romney presidential campaign received a hearty helping of home cooking in Commerce, with a crowd of 9,300 in support during his first trip back to Michigan since selecting Paul Ryan as his running mate. A three-hour event at Long Family Orchard in Commerce was "rocking and rolling" from the moment doors opened at 9:30 a.m., with sunny skies and high temperatures accompanying families rocking out to live music and plenty of conservative voices to be heard.

Republican presidential candidate draws crowd of 9,300 people at Long Family Orchard in Commerce, organizers say.
COMMERCE — An eager, happy crowd which reportedly swelled to 9,300 greeted presidential candidate Mitt Romney during his first trip back to Michigan since selecting Paul Ryan as his running mate. However, a joke Romney made about his roots in Michigan made the biggest headlines from the visit. A three-hour event at Long Family Orchard in Commerce was "rocking and rolling" from the moment doors opened at 9:30 a.m., through 85 degree-heat and steady sun which caused a few in the audience to require medical attention. Marked by speeches from Oakland County Commissioner Christine Long, who hosted the event with husband Rob; Michigan Lt. Gov. Brian Calley; and U.S. Senate hopeful Pete Hoekstra among others, the event seemed to serve as a rally …

In a Blue Mitten survey of influential Michigan Democrats, most respondents said that Mitt Romney's selection of Paul Ryan as the GOP vice presidential nominee will galvanize state Democrats.
Democratic Michigan insiders said Mitt Romney gave them a gift by selecting Paul Ryan as his vice presidential nominee: that’s the finding of this week’s Blue Mitten survey of influential Democrats. Thirty-one Democrats from the southeastern Michigan area were asked using an automated survey tool what they thought about Romney’s selection of Ryan as his GOP running mate. Twenty responses were collected. “Christmas in August for Democrats!” one respondent said. Indeed, 19 of the 20 respondents said they strongly agree or somewhat agree that Romney’s choice of Ryan "will galvanize Michigan Democrats in the November election". “This will wake up the Dem who might not have been involved,” one respondent said. “The two tickets now provide a …

In a Red Mitten flash poll, a majority of the respondents said they believe Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as the vice presidential nominee will galvanize Republican voters in Michigan.
Paul Ryan is Mitt Romney’s pick for vice president, and it’s a choice that has drawn praise from Michigan conservatives: that’s the finding of Saturday’s Red Mitten flash poll of influential Republicans. Fifty-eight conservatives from southeastern Michigan used an automated anonymous survey tool to offer their opinions about Romney’s choice of Ryan as his running mate on the GOP presidential ticket. Twenty-one responses were collected over a six-hour period. This poll differed from our previous Red Mitten survey in that responses were taken in a much shorter time frame. “It was a strong choice,” one respondent said of Ryan as the vice presidential nominee. “And should help Romney surpass Obama in the polls.” Almost all the respondents—86 …
