“And Mitt Romney is running for president because he knows that if we are willing to do for our children what our parents did for us, life in America can be better than it has ever been.”

Romney mentioning STEEL DYNAMICS in Fort Wayne. Good move.

Now the MSNBC Klux Klan has to explain the WHOLE GS Steel story.

Will the networks decide that they “erred” in not showing more of the RNC speakers, and choose to show hours and hours of the DNC without talking over the speakers?

That's what I expect. Seems like we've seen it happen before.

Absolutely correct.

The LAST thing Romney should do is get down in the gutter and attack the Kenyan personally.

People want to see if they can envision him as our President. So far, I would say he is delivering the goods.

Romney invoking Steve Jobs. Was fired at Apple but came back later to lead Apple to phenomenal success. Business is a risk. Success not always guaranteed. But the successful businessmen will overcome their failures and ultimately achieve success.

Giving Mitt a pass on the "Wish Obama had succeeded" line.

Need to win Independents and Reagan Democrats to win. Most of them voted for Obama in 2008. They need to save face. Insulting them does us no good with respect to coming election.

O.k. I'm with you though those of us who knew of his background believe he succeeded too well in the area of advancing socialism in America.

Governor Romney’s wife would never say, “For the first time in my life I’m proud to be an American.” Governor Romney would never say....”you didn’t build that;” just to mention a few “sweet” phrases of the Obamas.

There is absolutely no separating of people by sex, race, religion at this convention, among these people. We are accepting of each other, and are even fairly kind to the marxists on the other side. The commies will be nasty beyond imagination.

As far as I can decipher from the tweets, they are just offended that he is not saying he will doe out more welfare benefits. They honestly have no understanding about how creating jobs is good.
