The Range That Lets You Hit Romney And Obama
/Linda Chion Kenney visits Brandon, Florida's Ace Golf range where hackers can hit shots at huge head shots of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
The promotion was thought up by owner Bill Place, who even placed the photos based on his analysis of the candidates' positions.
"I guess some are shooting at them and some are shooting for them," Place said. "They can shoot in whatever direction they please. Some people like to shoot way off to the left and some people like to shoot in the right direction."
Either way, he added, "it gets people talking about the candidates."
As for Place, his allegiances are not hard to determine.
"I got to choose the pictures," he said. "I have to say that Romney's is probably a little more flattering. We put him a little right of center, which is where I thought [Bill] Clinton was, who I actually supported for president. I put Obama out in left field, where he belongs, in my view."
