Romney, Ryan to visit Richmond Friday

On the heels of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and running mate Paul Ryan will campaign in Richmond Friday.

Both will attend a “Victory Rally” at Richmond International Airport at 2 p.m. Doors for the event will open at 11 a.m.

The event, which follows Romney’s Thursday night speech in Tampa, is just the latest in a flurry of political activity in Virginia, a key battleground state that Obama carried in 2008.

President Barack Obama is campaigning in Charlottesville today. Romney last campaigned here in mid-August, announcing Ryan as his running mate. Ryan has since visited the state on his own, as has Vice President Joe Biden.
