Romney’s “Every Town Counts” tour hits Michigan, apparently only all-male, all-white towns count.
Thousands turn out to meet Mitt Romney ... actually it was around 400 :)

Mitt Romney finished up his recent 5-day bus tour in Michigan this week with stops in Frankenmuth, Dewitt and Holland. For those of you who aren’t from Michigan, you’re forgiven if you’ve never heard of those places.
He called it the “Every Town Counts” tour (or, as The Nation magazine calls it, the “Some Towns Just Don’t Count” tour) and it had stops in 13 towns.
Romney was met at the Holland State Park by a monstrous crowd of about 400 mostly white, mostly male supporters. He was also met by a significant number of protesters, including MoveOn.org’s “No Millionaire Left Behind RomneyMobile”.
In fact, there are a substantial number of minorities in Holland, Michigan. It’s 22.7% Hispanic and 3.6% African Americans. But none of them were at Mitt Romney’s rally. They were nearby, though. Since the event was held in one of Michigan’s glorious (and oh-so-socialist) state parks, there were people of color there to swim and picnic.
They were not there to support Mitt Romney.
