Why Is Romney Giving a Speech <i>Wednesday</i>?

Published



THE SCRAPBOOK was startled to receive this press release a few hours ago:

Mitt Romney Addresses American Legion 
Boston, MA – On Wednesday, Mitt Romney will address the American Legion at the Indianapolis Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. The following event is open to the press.
Wednesday, August 29, 2012
Event:                        Governor Romney Addresses American Legion  
Location:                  Indianapolis Convention Center
200 South Capitol Avenue
Indianapolis, Indiana   
Program Time:        3:00 PM EDT           

Huh? Isn’t Paul Ryan speaking Wednesday night here at the convention in Tampa? Does the presidential candidate usually deliver a major address the same day as the vice presidential nominee’s acceptance speech—and the day before his own acceptance speech? No. What’s going on?
