So far I have never heard a politician sound more presidential. This man sounds like a true leader.

Earlier I heard on one of the talk shows that Mr. Romney wrote the entire text of this speech himself. That he made this speech against the wishes of his advisors. It is possible that this speech might sink his run for the presidency but he will have my respect whatever the outcome of the election.

I saw Mitt on Greta's show the other night, and she asked him if he wrote the speech himself; which he said he did. Given the passion and sincerity with which the speech was delivered, I would guess that's true.

I agree with the comments you made about it. Apparently Rush Limbaugh agrees with you as well. He called the speech inspiring, courageous, and demonstrative of leadership. He went on to say that this speech raised the bar on the entire field, and it's the speech he (Rush) has dreamt of hearing from a GOP candidate for a long time.

As Rush said, "It may not be 'Morning in America' yet, but we are much farther from midnight if this keeps up." Very well said.

You gotta love it!

If anybody can get a transcript of Rush Limbaugh's comments about Governor Romney's speech, I'd really like to see it all in one place. Rush had a lot to say about the speech, spread out primarily at the beginning of his show, at an hour-and-a-half into it, and again at an hour-forty-five into the show. Excellent commentary.

Better yet, or perhaps in addition to, if anyone can rip the relevant audio, I'd love to hear it again.

And yet several people who support other candidates have posted in this thread that he just “read what the speechwriters wrote” — with not one piece of evidence supporting their claim.

I was amazed that Mitt didn’t even look at a note. This came from the heart and was very inspiring!
