Romney, his wife, Ann, and Ryan wave to a packed rally from their campaign bus at Long Family Orchard, Farm and Cider Mill in Commerce, Mich. At the event, the presidential contender said: “No one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place where both of us were born and raised.” Several supporters said in interviews following the rally that they interpreted the comment as a dig at President Obama — although Romney said later it was “not a swipe.”

Romney talks with supporters in Powell, Ohio. Obama won Ohio by 5 percentage points in the 2008 general election, and if Romney is to win the state this November, he will need to energize voters in places such as Delaware County, where Powell is located; Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) carried the county with 59 percent of the vote four years ago.
