Romney Said It All

Honestly, what more needs to be said that this paragraph from the text of Romney’s acceptance speech last night:

We were Mormons and growing up in Michigan; that might have seemed unusual or out of place but I really don’t remember it that way. My friends cared more about what sports teams we followed than what church we went to.

Well, maybe there is one more thing to add, this headline:

Romney takes lead over Obama…

    Victory!

    Team Obama could not stop the successful Republican Convention of 2012 from getting its message to the voters of America.

    The media palace guards tried and tried to keep the many voices of the Republican Party from being heard. They tried to “fact-check” every word that came out of anyone’s mouth that wasn’t from Team Obama.

    It didn’t work. They could not stop America from seeing the failures of President Obama next to the successful man campaigning to be the next President of the United States, Mitt Romney.

    From now to November the effective ads like the faded Obama poster will echo in the minds of Americans when they step into the voting booth.

    Even Michael Moore, the very leftist director, believes we should all get used to the name President Romney.

    Now what?

    What does the Media allied with President Obama do now?

    The Democrat Convention is next week.

    What message do they have about the number one issue Americans care about?

    None. They will attempt to exploit Todd Akin. They will talk about abortion and anything except the economy. When they do talk about the economy they won’t take Jeb Bush’s advice and continue to blame his brother.

    Because President Obama broke convention tradition and campaigned during the Republican convention, Mitt and Paul will be out campaigning next week.

    Along with them they will be bringing the millions in fundraising they collected in the form of ads, stickers, t-shirts and volunteer organizations to get out the vote.

    The headlines for the next two months will show Mitt Romney’s lead increase each day in every poll.

    As Team Romney has rightly pointed out America has lost faith in Barack Obama. He promised so many things and has delivered on none of them. He is a burden on families, businesses and churches. The core institutions of this country can not afford four more years of an Obama Presidency, literally.

    I am working right now in Nevada, a battleground state, which Obama won last election.

    I have not seen one Obama sticker anywhere or campaign materials except commercials on television. I drive all over Las Vegas and there is nothing.

    Nevada will go to Mitt Romney. I listen to people and no one talks about President Obama. No one. They talk about work or finding work.

    Nevada has a large Mormon population so anti-mormon attacks won’t work out here.

    If Obama has lost the state where the Senate majority leader is how can he win the rest of the country?

    According to one pollster, Dick Morris, lower expected Democrat voter turnout is not being taken into account when normalizing many polls. He says the number could be skewed in Obama’s favor by as much as 5 to 7 percentage points when factoring in likely voters versus registered voters. Add to that, undecided voters tend to vote against the incumbent by as much as 80%. If so, a scrap paper calculation seems to indicate Mitt Romney is ahead of Barack Obama by a number greater than the margin of error in most if not all the battleground states and nationwide.
