High Praise for Romney in Chicago

The 110 story Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) in Chicago is the highest building in the Western Hemisphere. 

A cowboy in the sky, 74 year old ironworker John Rukavina was doing maintenance on the broadcast antenna on the Willis Tower.  To celebrate a job well done, the 60 year veteran followed ironworker traditional unfurled a banner. To everyone's surprise, Rukavina chose to display the Romney banner, which briefly was hung but taken down to prevent potential damage.
