After losing all three Republican voting contests Tuesday night, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney made the first of two Atlanta appearances Wednesday afternoon at the Bottega by Stones International showroom in Buckhead.

After his approximately 30-minute speech, Romney departed for the W Hotel Midtown for a $2,500 per person VIP reception and a $1,000 per person general reception. See the accompanying video for Romney’s speech-closing remarks. The Georgia primary is March 6. Early voting begins Feb. 13.
