So at least watch the 10 minute clip attached to this article is all I have to say (I intend to watch the full speech later). Romney has either been coached well or he has found his mojo - or combination of the two. He was on fire during this speech. Not the wooden cliche-ridden speech we've come to expect. It was passionate and full of the kind of plain talk we've come to expect from Reagan or Palin. Mainstream media coverage or not, if this is the kind of speech Romney maintains on the campaign trail and at the convention (where many people will hear him unedited on TV for the first time) - he will win this election by a wide margin.
What Obama said a few days ago about business people and how they are not responsible for their own success will be his undoing - so long Romney does not let that moronic statement die on the vine. The mainstream media will never show Obama making that moronic statement which by the say, sums up perfectly what Obama is all about - radical socialization of America. It is up to Romney to keep this alive and judging by the crowd reaction at this speech - Romney has a winning theme...take back America from this radical leftist socialist.
On another note, I've seen an increasing amount of consternation from Freepers here that Romney does not appear to be on the offensive and that Obama is putting out all these ads that are uncontested.
Well I am not sure that all Freepers are aware that campaign laws forbid Romney from using the money he is collecting for his campaign until AFTER the election. Due to the competitive primaries, Romney has already spent most of his pre-convention money which means that after the convention, he will have a pile of it to spend in just eight or nine weeks.
Because Obama didn't have any competition in the primaries, he is spending his pre-convention money now - making it seem that Romney is not even putting up a fight.
So the TV/radio ad war will be joined as soon as the convention ends. In the meantime, listen to the Romney stump speech. I was much encouraged by it and this bodes well for the fall campaign that has yet to come.
Correction to my above post. Romney will not be able to use the money he is raising now until after the CONVENTION (not the election!).
