Romney's Strange, Silent Trip To Oklahoma City

From NewsRadio 1000 KTOK ~ Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, seeking the Republican presidential nomination, slipped quietly into Oklahoma City on Thursday but avoided publicity.

A spokeswoman at Romney's campaign headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts confirmed to KTOK that Romney was in Oklahoma City, but "there won't be any public or press availability."

The spokeswoman declined to say where Romney was in the city and would not offer any more details of his quiet visit to Oklahoma. A press spokesman later indicated that the visit was for a private fundraiser.

His visit is fresh off the Tuesday night GOP Presidential debate at which time former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson took part for the first occasion.

One of those attending the event, former Republican Congressman Ernest Istook, confirmed it was a fundraiser at the Skirvin Hotel. The cost to attend started at $500 a plate and about 50 to 100 supporters were expected.
