Romney camp's game plan: Make Ford Field look crowded
It won't be hard to fit 1,200 members of the Detroit Economic Club into 65,000-seat Ford Field for today's speech by GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
What will be hard is making it look like Romney isn't speaking to a nearly empty stadium.
The Romney campaign and the Economic Club think they've solved the problem. The guests will be seated at one end of the playing surface, roughly between the end zone and the 30-yard line, while Romney will speak from a stage in front of them.
By the way, I found this on Facebook:

That picture does more damage to his campaign than the lost cost of the stadium rental ever could.
