Per several reporters on the trail, Mitt Romney isn’t taking questions today and wants to keep reporters at a distance. Politico’s Dylan Byers collected some tweets from an event in St. Petersburg, Fla., this morning:
Jim Acosta (CNN) @jimacostacnn: Romney campaign and Secret Service attempted to keep press off ropeline so no q’s to candidate on Bain
Kasie Hunt (AP) @kasie: Campaign staff and volunteers trying to physically prevent reporters from approaching the rope line to ask questions of Romney.
Sara Murray (WSJ) @SaraMurray: Press lead on the #Romney bus announces there will be no questions for the candidate today. “Isn’t that our decision?” a reporter asks.
Ginger Gibson (Politico) @GingerGibson: Campaign staffer trying to block reporters from getting to rope line to tell questions. She’s generally being ignored.
