I thought Ann Romney was great. I was blown away by her. She just seemed great. And so real.
She had me liking Mitt Romney but without pandering or laying it on too thick.
To be clear, I thought Chris Christie did a great job as did Santorum. But Ann Romney really connected. Even my wife who won’t sit through three minutes of anything political watched her whole speech and said she was great.
If I had to guess, I’d think this speech will definitely help with the women vote.
Tonight I want to talk to you from my heart about our hearts.
I want to talk not about what divides us, but what holds us together as an American family. I want to talk to you tonight about that one great thing that unites us, that one thing that brings us our greatest joy when times are good, and the deepest solace in our dark hours. Tonight I want to talk to you about love. …
Mitt’s dad never graduated from college. Instead, he became a carpenter.
He worked hard, and he became the head of a car company, and then the governor of Michigan.
When Mitt and I met and fell in love, we were determined not to let anything stand in the way of our life together. …
I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a “storybook marriage.” Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or Breast Cancer. …
A storybook marriage? No, not at all. What Mitt Romney and I have is a real marriage. …
At every turn in his life, this man I met at a high school dance, has helped lift up others. He did it with the Olympics, when many wanted to give up …
This is the man America needs. …
I can’t tell you what will happen over the next four years. But I can only stand here tonight, as a wife, a mother, a grandmother, an American, and make you this solemn commitment: This man will not fail. This man will not let us down. This man will lift up America!
