Tonight we heard upbeat and positive speakers like Governor Jeb Bush who spoke about educational standards & school choice and United States Senator Marco Rubio who detailed American Exceptionalism.

But tonight was Mitt Romney’s night by far.  Speakers told the crowd about Mitt’s compassion and also his business acumen.  It was plain spoken and heartful, showing a personal side to humanize himself, despite the way he’s been portrayed by the current occupant of the White House.

The most energy from the crowd came when Romney mentioned how Obama said he would slow the rising oceans and heal the planet…Mitt said “My promise is to help you and your family”– a reference to the economic struggles of everyday Americans.

I am proud of the Republican Party for keeping the message positive and focused on the economy.   Like James Carville once said “It’s the Economy stupid!” —WELL IT REALLY IS ABOUT THE ECONOMY THIS TIME!!!

I am also proud of the GOP because the Party is taking the issues directly to the Democrats– the Economy, Medicare, and high taxes.  Staying upbeat and being adult enough to talk about the issues is what your average Americans want to hear from our Leaders.  Not invective and dirty campaigning– Chicago style.

This time it really is the Economy stupid.
