GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney pressed the flesh Thursday at the State Fair of West Virginia, and The Associated Press walked alongside.
The former Massachusetts governor talked about family values, immigration, his family's blind trust, and coal. Romney said he would commit federal funds toward improving and developing technology to convert the Mountain State's natural resource into liquid fuel.
"Gov. Joe Manchin - himself a coal-to-liquid enthusiast - also toured the fair Thursday with his wife and fellow Democratic officials," AP reports. "Though their respective entourages passed within several dozen yards of each other, Manchin and Romney did not meet."
Update: MetroNews' Talkline interviewed Romney before his visit to the fair, and offers audio.
