If I were running the convention, I would hire Mora's Modern Rhythmists and have them cut loose with Breakaway,, Everybody Stomp, and Stockholm Stomp.

This guy is a weak speaker but his message is really inspiring.

Well said. Everyday people who are loved.

I realize I misread your post and mine probably came along wrong. The Debbie Downers I was referring to were people on this thread.

I agree, regular people need to be given a pass when speaking in front of a national audience for the first time. They are actually doing quite well. I think I would be peeing my pants.

I’m pretty impressed that regular people have the nerve to get up there in front of so many people. God bless them. Should be interesting to hear what the left says about all this.

That was a terrific story, and the inexperience of the parents as speakers just made it more real.

But now we’re back to Mormon testimony. I’m voting for Romney in spite of his faith, and they need to quit pushing it down our throats.

Does he have any non-Mormon friends?

I’ve been sitting here thinking the same thing. I don’t want to diminish his caring and charity, but I think this is a little too much.

Yeah - I knew the mom. She was a teacher’s aide who worked extensively with my youngest.

Can’t imagine the pain of losing a child.

This is a good story. I like the humanization of Mitt. That’s what tonight is about...showing his soft side, which is not hard. This is sad, though.

I could not do this. It takes a lot and these people were touched by their kindness.
