The life and accomplishments of Mitt Romney
‘The most extraordinary moment of the convention’ – August 31, 2012 Rick Moran Byron York is right. Many critics say the Romney campaign needs to do more to “humanize” the candidate. What those critics might want to do is watch the Oparowski story and ask if they themselves could ever be as human, and humane, as Mitt Romney. Read more…

“The Best 6 Minutes for Mitt at the Republican National Convention”
With national news networks like MSNBC and CNN reliably cutting to commercials, the pundits, or hurrican coverage whenever
many of the woman, black, or latino’s spoke at the RNC, you might have missed the most compelling segments of the convention: Self-proclaimed liberal Jane Edmonds, Former Secretary of the Massachusetts Department of Workforce Development, speaks about Mitt Romney.
Olympians address the convention: Another very important segment, led by Kim Rhode-America’s skeet and trap shooting champion, these olympians articulate how Mitt Romney saving the 02 winter olympics was not as a figurehead, but rather as a hands on leader, and it is that very leadership that America now desperately needs.
