Mitt Romney's acceptance speach at the Republican Convention

MITT ROMNEY: 'NOW IS THE TIME TO RESTORE THE PROMISE OF AMERICA'

Mitt Romney officially accepted the Republican nomination for President Thursday night with a speech that featured more of his personal story than he has told before, but also attacked President Obama on the key Romney campaign points of the economy and the President's 2008 campaign promises of hope and change.

'Now is the time to restore the Promise of America,' he told the delegates assembled at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. 'Many Americans have given up on this president but they haven’t ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves. Not on each other. And not on America.'
