The Boston Globe recounts a recent Romney visit to Texas.
Romney looked overdressed in his dark suit and tie compared with the jeans-wearing audience of more than 6,000 people who came to hear country singers Montgomery Gentry, Lee Greenwood and Collin Raye. Money raised from the event was to go a scholarship fund for the children of dead or disabled soldiers. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, got the crowd on its feet when he took the stage in jeans, a short-sleeved shirt and running shoes. Perry flipped a ballcap to the ground and marched back and forth, exhorting the crowd.
