Romney to Visit Vermont

Posted: Updated:
WEST WINDSOR, Vt. -

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will soon visit Vermont.

He's expected to spend three days in West Windsor to prepare for the fall debates and has chosen to stay at the remote estate of Former Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey.

"We're very excited," says Joel Schreibman, who lives near the Healey home.

Schreibman and other neighbors just found out Romney will spend Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in West Windsor.

"I was quite surprised because presidential candidates hardly ever make it to Vermont, much less to Rush Meadow Road," says Anne Babbott, who also lives nearby.

In the upscale neighborhood, there are no signs the republican presidential nominee will be here this week and even neighbors say they don't expect to see him.

That's because Romney will be busy preparing for upcoming debates and chose to do it at Healey's secluded home.

"That's a great place to do it and I don't think he'll be disturbed," says Jan Schreibman,  who lives nearby.

The Schreibmans, who are originally from Massachusetts, are already convinced Romney is the best choice for president.

Other neighbors say, while Romney is welcome here, his visit is not changing their vote.

"I stand firmly with Barack Obama at this point," says Babbott.

Romney has not announced any planned public appearances in Vermont.

He did not campaign in the state before the primary and it's unknown if he would now, considering President Obama is expected to win Vermont.
