I’m afraid...very afraid of the future...
What a class act.
Mitt Romney’s claim to be a conservative standard-bearer was at completely at odds with his past stances on the issues. It gave him a credibility problem that he was never able to overcome. That problem also makes him unlikely to be John McCain’s running mate.
I’ve been for Mitt from the very beginnings of his campaign, and he has made me proud of that choice from beginning to end.
Term limits...is the ONLY thing that is going to "cure" Washington.
I think he will run a better campaign in 2012 and win.
did anyone say anything about huck’s speech? didn’t he speak today?
Mitt did give a good speech. Bottom line: He’s one of the good guys.
Off topic, but McCain also gave a good speech.
Yes, Mitt Romney and his family are a class act. I would have been proud to have him as my President.
I wish him well in whatever his future endeavors may be.
I cannot say that I am proud to have voted for Romney, but it felt better than voting for guys named Bush or Dole.
There will be little recognition of the support given to the Mormon, Mitt Romney. No voter will be recognized for their religious tolerance, or their open-minded view of one from another religion. The media tried to cast Romney as a freak and continues to ignore the vast support he received by so many across the Country.
Romney was the last card in my hand I was willing to play. For those who live a state likely to go Democrat, would it hurt to fold and walk away from the table?
I am with you Plutarch. It was an excellent speech. I am proud to have supported Mitt Romney from beginning to end. Conservatism can move forward and flourish only with a combination of a positive, optimistic message and an articulate, persuasive messenger. One cannot succeed without the other. We need both. Mitt Romney provided both. It’s sad more people didn’t have the foresight or the wisdom to give him a chance to lead this country back to greatness.
Where can we get the full text?
It was a good speech but the one he gave at the Bush Presidential Library was great. I’m sorry to see him go. Of course I was sorry to see Duncan and then Fred go as well. They’re gonna be writing books about this one for years to come.
As much as I hate the inevitability of McCain, I'd rather have acceptable than anathema.

Romney has been giving speeches like this all along. It’s just that the media doesn’t cover them. McCain had a good 50 million bucks worth, minuimum, of free advertising and puff pieces from them. Rush started to clue in with the Faith in America speech which he called the best thing to come out of the primaries. Most of their time about Mitt was all negative.
