Romney crashes Democratic convention
Mitt Romney, the former GOP Massachusetts governor, sneaked into Democrat territory Tuesday night, making a television appearance from the Pepsi Center in Denver.
Romney, rumored to be a potential running mate for presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, slipped behind some risers on the second level of the center on his way to the interview, and was surrounded by television cameras as he made a quick dash out of the center.
“I have a lot of friends here,” he said, brushing off inquiries from reporters about how he was greeted at the Democratic National Convention.
“Mitt Romney?” exclaimed one delegate when told who was in a private broadcast booth. “Mitt Romney? What? Has he become a Democrat?”
Another wasn’t so charitable.
“Are we going to beat him up when he comes out?”
Romney left the center without incident.
