--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --
IT'S ALL BEEN LEADING UP TO THIS ...
MITT ROMNEY'S BIG MOMENT.
HE FORMALLY ACCEPTED HIS PARTY'S NOMINATION AND FIRED UP THE CROWD.
I accept the nomination for the President of the United States
MITT ROMNEY GAVE THE BIGGEST SPEECH OF HIS POLITICAL CAREER -
SHARING HIS PERSONAL STORY AS HE TRIED TO CONNECT WITH VOTERS.
HE APPEARED TO CHOKE UP AS HE TALKED ABOUT HIS WIFE AND KIDS.
if you ask Ann and I what we would give to break up one more fight or find a pile of kids in our room, any parent knows the answer to that.
ROMNEY ALSO FOCUSED IN ON THE BIG ISSUE FOR MANY VOTERS - THE ECONOMY.
ROMNEY LAID OUT HIS PLAN TO TURN THE ECONOMY AROUND - ONE HE SAYS WILL CREATE 12 MILLION JOBS.
HE TALKED ABOUT HIS BUSINESS EXPERIENCE -- AND THE COMPANY HE STARTED, BAIN CAPITAL.
That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story.
AND HE POINTED BLAME AT THE PRESIDENT FOR HIS FAILED POLICIES.
I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division.
LEADING UP TO ROMNEY - FLORIDA SENATOR MARCO RUBIO, A CUBAN AMERICAN, MADE AN APPEAL TO LATINO VOTERS.
My Dad used to tell us: "En este pais, ustedes van a poder lograr todas las cosas que nosotros no pudimos" "In this country, you will be able to accomplish all the things we never could."
AND ROMNEY EVEN HAD SOME HOLLYWOOD STAR POWER BEHIND HIM - CLINT EASTWOOD.
it is time for someone else to come along and solve the unemployment problem
ROMNEY SAID THE COUNTRY DESERVES MORE THAN UNFULFILLED PROMISES - AND IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE.
Let us begin that future together tonight.
--REPORTER ON CAM TAG --
MITT ROMNEY HITS THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN FLORIDA TODAY AND HE HEADS TO OHIO SATURDAY.
AS FOR DEMOCRATS -
THEY KICK OFF THEIR CONVENTION NEXT WEEK IN CHARLOTTE.
IN TAMPA, I'M TORY DUNNAN, BACK TO YOU.
