I would have liked to have heard more specifics from Mitt Romney last night on how he’d turn around the economy, but I wasn’t his primary audience. (I already know his platform and plan to vote for him.) I think the former Massachusetts governor succeeded in introducing himself as a real, caring person to undecided voters, as someone they can envision as president and feel comfortable with. In contrast to the current occupant of the Oval Office, Romney looked like an adult with a track record of leading people and solving problems. I think the American people are ready for a change, and what they saw last night gives them permission make one.
