W's Welcoming Committee

When the POTUS deplaned in Cleveland, he was greeted by 4 GOP officials, then continued on to an event in Euclid, OH. One official was Steve LaTourette (R-Concord Twp.), whose district abuts Euclid. Two more were those rarest of Ohio breeds, GOP mayors - Perciak of Strongsville and Robart of Cuyahoga Falls. So far, this all makes sense. If you don't know where those places are, I've plotted them as a route on Yahoo Maps.

Rounding out the foursome? None other than our very own Pat Tiberi. You'll have to zoom out a few times to see Pat's district. I'm sure that GWB is heartened that at least one Ohio Republican will go out of his way to hang out with him.

You just mentioned 4.

Ben, the distance traveled between the office and the airport for the first three combined is less than the distance traveled by Tiberi. LaTourette could have made Hopkins on his lunchbreak (not to mention that the fundraiser for the nrc/nrcc was held in his district I believe). It looks strange if he's not there. Pat, on the other hand...

All right I see what you were trying to say.
