PHOENIX - Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has invested a full day campaigning in Arizona, making several appearances in the early primary state.
Romney addressed a business audience Wednesday in Tucson and then followed that up with an appearance before hundreds of people at a retirement community on the outskirts of Phoenix.
His schedule also includes at least one fundraiser.
At his appearance in Sun Lakes, the former Massachusetts governor's opening remarks covered highlights of his regular campaign remarks.
He also fielded questions on immigration, Social Security and the economy.
Arizona's presidential primary is set for Feb. 28. That's relatively early on the national calendar of caucuses and primaries, but some other states are considering moving up their contests.
