The bus tour - Romney planned to fly each night to the next state - is Romney's first traditional campaign swing aimed at undecided voters in six battleground states - New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa - that Obama won in 2008 and that may decide the presidential election in November.
