ROMNEY STAFF PLAYS APRIL FOOL'S JOKE ON BOSS -before an event in Wauwatosa, Wis. -- Ginger Gibson: "He arrived at the Bluemound Gardens Restaurant and was waiting behind a black curtain with Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Ron Johnson. Ryan went into the banquet room and began introducing him. His staff then warned him that the crowd was less than was expected. 'My staff says to me, it's small, there's a small, we didn't get much turnout this morning, it's really small but it'll be okay, it'll be okay,' Romney explained [to a later crowd]. Ryan went through the whole introduction, including calling him and Johnson on to the stage. 'And so the two of us go out there and it's completely empty,' Romney recalled. 'There is nobody there, it's like, oh this is going to look really bad on the evening news.' Turns out the staff had set up in an empty banquet room while the real crowd waited upstairs for the pancake brunch. ... 'his is known as forgive but remember. I'll tell you we're going to remember this.'"
