He was among four volunteers who made phone calls to urge supporters to vote for Romney, reading from scripts that emphasized what they said was their candidate's electability against Obama. "I really think he gives us our best chance" to win in November, the scripts said. Romney, in a visit to the headquarters where he, too, made calls to prospective voters, was clearly looking past this state's primary

He made a quick trip to speak to newspaper editors and publishers on Wednesday in Washington where he directly challenged the president.

"We have a president who I think is a nice guy, but he spent too much time at Harvard, perhaps, or maybe just not enough time working in the real world," Romney said as he campaigned Thursday. He'd said much the same thing Tuesday night after his primary wins. "He's so out of touch with the American people that he doesn't see how many people are struggling amidst his policies," Romney said Wednesday night as he campaigned in Broomall. A boisterous crowd gave him several sustained ovations and clamored for autographs, a scene fitting for the party's next standard-bearer.
