Mitt Romney in Portland today.

Kari Chisholm

Today, Mitt Romney makes a brief pit stop in Portland to extract some cash - without bothering to actually meet any actual voters, or even distract the press from his fundraiser by reading a book to some kids or visiting a factory floor.

Meanwhile, the Oregon AFL-CIO has invited all of us to greet Governor Romney in true Portland style.

Let's welcome Mitt Romney to Oregon - tomorrow at 11:30am in front of the Governor Hotel in downtown Portland. #WelcometoOR
— Oregon AFL-CIO (@ORStrongVoice) June 4, 2012

We'll see if Portland lives up to its "Little Beirut" moniker. The Governor, by the way, is at 614 Southwest 11th Avenue.

Oh, and if you're talking about this on Twitter, use the hashtag #WelcomeToOR‬.

Interesting piece by Public Campaign Action Fund on a member of the host committee and one of his companies making a donation to the Romeny SuperPAC.

  Looking up the person mentioned in the voter file and on Orestar yields interesting results.

New Ad just out on the BainMitt legacy in MA. He asked us to judge him on his record as governor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oWdZEJW1vWY

From the O on today's protests:

A crowd of protesters has gathered outside the Governor Hotel in downtown Portland, where Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is holding a fund-raising lunch.

Among them was a group from Oregon Planned Parenthood, clad in pink, who said they are worried about Romney's threats to get rid of federal funding for the organization and Title 10 health care services.

"We're here to send a clear message to Mitt Romney that women are watching," said Laura Terrill Patten, of Oregon Planned Parenthood.

And as a side note, my commenting via Chrome on a Mac is broken thanks to Facebook. Sigh.

And an entertaining Twitter feed from WWeek including listing all various traffic laws broken by the Romney motorcade.
