Obama attack dog David Axelrod is set to howl and chase his tail at a press conference outside the Massachusetts Statehouse this morning, but he’d like to do it without any of you Romney supporters opening your big yaps.
In Boston, David Axelrod will lead Obama event criticizing Romney record as Governor of Massachusetts.

After weeks of Obama surrogates undermining the President's message, Obama Campaign has no choice but to deploy David Axelrod? #DreamTeam

News of the “secret” presser was leaked yesterday:

Romney supporters are on hand for a counter-rally. But shockingly enough, it appears Team Obama isn’t too crazy about free speech when it’s not aimed at burnishing The One’s halo. Romney spokesman Ryan Williams is live tweeting the event.

No, Axelrod, this isn’t Obama’s takeout order:

Twitchy will monitor the Obama campaign’s attempt to silence Romney supporters and update this post as needed.
UPDATE:
Romney crew leaving the state house steps post presser. Local authorities say OFA has permit for their event, Romney campaign did not

Not surprising given the presser was kept secret. Can’t have anyone showing up armed with facts and truth to counter Axelrod’s attacks.
