GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s motorcade made an impromptu stop today, after the governor spotted children outside an elementary school, waving and cheering.
Kids from local elementary school are outside waving as our motorcade drives by.—

So we passed an adorable line of kids waving at the motorcade outside a Va. school. Romney's Motorcade has abruptly turned around.—

The Romney motorcade passed an elementary school w dozens of waving kids…and is now making a u-turn. Presumably to go say hello.—

Adorable! More on-scene reports and photos come in.
In a scene out of some kind of hollywood movie, the adorable children are now running across the school yard to meet Romney—

@jimacostacnn Love when these moments happen on the campaign trail. Nowadays it seems like everything is so carefully scripted.—

Neither can we! What a wonderful reminder to smile and delight in the wonder and joy of childhood. Of course, some can’t even just do that.
So Romney wants to kill Big Bird and everyone hates him so he visits some kids to soften his image? Hilarious and won't work.—

Wasn't HS, when he gay bashed someone? RT @SarahH_CBSNJ: Romney's favorite grade in school? 4th…he told the kids at Fairfield Elementary.—

Sigh.
Keep the impromptu visits coming, Governor Romney. You gave those children a day they will always remember and we are sure that you will, too.
Beautiful.
