Raise your hand if you’ve ever been stuck in traffic behind a tractor on a rural Vermont road. All of you? Okay, that’s what I thought.

Well, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is decamping to Vermont for debate prep, and guess what happened?! The Associated Press has the scoop:

Mitt Romney’s motorcade, en route to the home of former Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey in West Windsor, Vt., on Tuesday morning, got briefly waylaid — by a tractor.

Welcome to Vermont, Mitt! And it’s not the first time this week that the Romney caravan’s been stuck behind something in a small New England town, as AP reporter Kasie Hunt reports:

This could be a fun game. What else can Romney get stuck behind while he’s here? An escaped cow running free? An orchard truck spilling its apples all over the road? The Burlington Snowdragon? It’s up to you, Windsor County. This is your moment.

  1. I’m sure he is used to this sort of thing. After all he lived in the next state over. But hey look at this way, he’s already spent more time in VT then Obama.

  2. ROMNEY’S BEEN SPREADING HIS DEFECATION ALL OVER THE USA, WHY NOT TRY HERE, THERE IS ALWAYS ONE FOOL WHO WILL VOTE FOR HIM.

  3. WE NEED A BUSINESS FRIENDLY STATE TO GET MORE BUSINESS IN HERE, THERE IS TOO MUCH LAND AVAILABLE. THAT’S IS AN INDEPENDENT THOUGHT, WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ROMNEY OR ANY OTHER GOP CANDIDATE. REMEMBER ROMNEY=GOP=REPUBLICANS=PARTY OF NO=OBSTRUCTIONISTS=MEDICARE VOUCHERS=SOCIAL SECURITY ELIMINATION= RAPE AND INCEST ABORTION DENIAL=ROVE=CHENEY=KOCK BROTHERS=BUSH BOYS(JEB WANTS TO RUN IN 2016-WE NEED TO RID OF THE BUSH NAME, ONCE AND FOR ALL, THEY HAVE CAUSED ENOUGH DAMAGE)=ROMNEY WANTS TO GO BACK TO THE BUSH BOY DAYS, DO YOU PEOPLE WANT THAT.

  4. Hey, could you do us all a favor and not comment in ALL-CAPS LETTERS LIKE THIS? That’s the Internet version of shouting.

  5. There will be more than one fool voting for him this time around …. look at the empty suit that he’s up against! Do you really want four more years of platitudes, promises, and trillions more in debt for future generations to pay for? Time to wake up.
