Romney to Attend Democratic Convention as Loyal Opposition

DENVER (AP) — Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will be among several prominent Republicans heading to Denver next week to give the GOP view of the Democratic National Convention. Republicans plan to deliver opposition speeches from a rival post set up near the Pepsi Center, where the Democrats will hold their week-long gathering. A spokesman for Romney says he’s scheduled to speak Tuesday. Romney handily won Colorado’s Republican presidential caucus in February and is considered a possible running mate for John McCain. The Republican National Committee says the party plans more speeches like Romney’s in Denver, but won’t say exactly who is coming. (link)
