this one. It's a roughly the same point of time in the primaries, not after the nomination has been won...

so Romney has more advantages. it's not like the OBama one is from some place with Obama connection like Illinois, Hawaii, Kansas etc.

It was an invitation-only event for members of a particular group (the Economics Club or some such). The real question is why it was held in such an inappropriate venue. There was some bickering about that organizational foul-up, with the Romney staff variously trying to blame the Secret Service and the host organization.

Yes, there certainly is a lack of enthusiasm for Romney, but this photo doesn't prove it.

These photos are ABSOLUTELY comparable. It shows Romney's (and those he puts around him) judgement compared to Obama's judgement.
