Dennis Miller joined Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for a campaign stop Wednesday at Ida Lee Park in Leesburg, Va.

A day after his second debate with President Barack Obama on Tuesday in New York, Romney criticized Obama for not laying out a second-term agenda in front of a crowd of about 8,000.

Nationally, experts have been drawn to Loudoun as key to whether Virginia swings red or blue in in November.

The presidential candidates and their families have made a number of stops in Loudoun County this election season: First Lady Michelle Obama was at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds earlier this month; Ann Romney led a "Rally for Mitt" at Cavallo Farm in September.

President Barack Obama stopped in Leesburg in August. Romney was in Loudoun in June for a closed event.

Last Night at Ida Lee park the Romney croud was electric. All the people where nice, I estimate over 15 thousand people at the park, the place was jammed! The underlining concern is the current lack of leadership in the current administration. Nobody is protecting the american peole! Romeny will change all of that on 11/6/2012. We demand real leadership and Romney has the experence to provide real LEADERSHIP in the white house. Liberal media losses and America Wins!

What I saw of the crowd appeared to be lily white and devoid of any diversity.

Probably because blacks are afraid to show their conservatism else they be labeled as Uncle Tom's or not really black by bigots and racists on the left. Republicans welcome the voices of all races despite extreme liberal attempts to demonize conservatives.

I saw Obama yesterday claiming the new job numbers are proof that his policies are working and that we are in an economic recovery... Fact is, that is not the truth, or even close to the truth...
First, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9% and the year-to-date monthly average of 157,000 payroll jobs is barely enough to keep up with population growth -- much less make up for the 8 million jobs lost during the Great Recession.
Second, the so-called real unemployment rate (U6) remains elevated at 14.6%, albeit down from 14.7% the prior month. Similarly, the labor participation rate is at 63.8%, up from its multi-decade low but still incredibly weak.
Third, average hourly earnings fell a penny in October and average hours worked fell to 34.4 from 34.5 in September.
Stagnant wages means "we're not generating income," Reinhart says. "That's a problem in terms of the durability of an economic expansion, which is usually fueled by consumption. To get consumption you've got to generate income."
Also, just look at your checkbook. We are paying a lot more for everything now than we did in 2008. The price of gas has doubled. At the same time, wages have gone down, and that's if you're lucky to have a job.
In 2008, 25 banks went out of business. In 2012, 48 banks have gone out of business. Almost double the amount. Does that sound like recovery to you? Don't believe the Obama lies!!
