Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney is returning to Northern Virginia, home to plenty of rich donors but probably not the voters who will determine the GOP nominee.

Romney will speak Feb. 10 before the Northern Virginia Technology Council and Consumer Electronics Association at the Hyatt Regency in Reston to discuss the role of technology and innovation in igniting the U.S. economy. The former Massachusetts governor held a high-end fundraiser in Richmond in December expected to bring in $350,000, and spent another two days in the commonwealth last year.
