Lots of love for the Ohio delegation from Mitt Romney…

The middle of  Mitt Romney’s five sons, Josh, is taking his younger brother’s place at the first of the Ohio delegation breakfasts this morning. He’ll be joined by Ari Fleischer, who was President George W. Bush’s press secretary and accompanied Romney on his trip to Israel last month.

Also speaking in a room set up for more than 300 will be Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who was considered a top candidate to be Romney’s running mate until he went with Paul Ryan.

And the other Republican candidates for president at also meeting with Ohio. Newt Gingrich will be speaking in an unusual afternoon session at 12:45, and Rick Santorum is the breakfast speaker tomorrow morning.
