BETTER LATE THAN NEVER (PART II): Here are some photos/video from yesterday's Romney/Ryan Republican campaign stop in Manassas. This is what it looked like at the entrance to Harris Pavilion shortly after we arrived.

And here's the other end of the 1 km long line where we entered. The Obama counterprotest was a bit weak.... The barber shop was open ... the line of Romney supporters passed by for over three hours. The Obama campaign's Manassas headquarters -- they were very quiet.

We finally gave up on getting into the Pavilion and went to the overflow area to watch the rally on a large-screen video unit across the street. The rally was largely standard stump speech -- even Paul Ryan's comments were a rehash of what I had heard earlier in the morning when he was first introduced in Norfolk.

Romney did get in a nice jab at Obama's "you didn't build your business" comment, however, when he noted that he didn't think the bus driver deserved credit for the honor student's achievements even though the student rode the bus to school every day. Here's a picture of a mother sharing her joy at getting one of the very first Romney/Ryan campaign stickers. Other, smaller, stickers were being passed out just before the campaign rally ended.

And a picture of the Harris Pavilion taken from across the street at the overflow area. The police had the area cordoned off, but it's clear that the Pavilion is jammed. And finally, a short video of the campaign bus leaving afterward. Romney is in the front of the bus on the left. Paul Ryan is standing beside him, and (I think) that's Romney's wife Ann just behind Ryan.



Instapundit has much more. In the view from the campaign bus (link) I'm standing just out of the picture on the left side. Also check out Stacy McCain's Update V link for more photos.
