CEDAR RAPIDS - With the caucuses breathing down the neck, Mitt Romney is getting out the vote.
"The true source of America's strength is America's people, people who believe in hard work, education and who love opportunity," said the Romney, Republican Presidential Candidate.
At Romney's event Wednesday afternoon in Cedar Rapids, that vote was being let out by the media.
"Like whoa dude, lots of camera's," said one impressed girl. "They must be from everywhere, like wow."
Yes, there were a lot of cameras. Twenty-five were from the travelling crew inside Romney's plane. Add that to the local crews.
And then there were 75 international journalists. Romney's press people say the state department asked their campaign to invite the foreigners to this particular event.
"I think it's pretty great," said Shelley Kuennen. "That means we're here for something important."
Something important indeed. Even though there's not a huge crowd here, supporters say there's a lot of buzz about every candidate.
"It seems like there's more people interested at least the group i'm involved with this year, than there has been before," said Dan Meloan.
A lot of buzz that come Friday morning, will probably take a break in Iowa.
