+38It was a HUGE success. He spoke about the issues that Americans are concerned about and come November Romney and Ryan will WIN.
As for abortion, I don't express any opinion on it in my profile, but in most of the postings I've put up on SH relating to abortion, I note that I have supported abortion as social policy since 1969 and worked for the then Republican controlled NYS Legislature which passed a statute legalizing abortion based solely on an attending physician's determination of medical need, becoming the first American jurisdiction to do so. Notwithstanding my view of abortion as social policy, however, I think the idea of a Constitutional right to an abortion is laughable, even if it has been judicially ratified on repeated occasions by theUSSC. Moreover, given the USSC finding that a woman has a Constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy, I think the continuing inability of all biological fathers to terminate their liability for support of a child they did not intend to father is a denial of equal protection; not that I think that the father should have an absolute right to refuse paternity - though there's nothing ...

"You know there is something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him." ---- Mitt Romney
First, by 2020, North America will be energy independent by taking full advantage of our oil and coal and gas and nuclear and renewables.
Second, we will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance.
Third, we will make trade work for America by forging new trade agreements. And when nations cheat in trade, there will be unmistakable consequences.
Fourth, to assure every entrepreneur and every job creator that their investments in America will not vanish as have those in Greece, we will cut the deficit and put America on track to a balanced budget.
And fifth, we will champion SMALL businesses, America's engine of job growth. That means reducing taxes on business, not raising them. It means simplifying and modernizing the regulations that hurt small business the most. And it means that we must rein in the skyrocketing cost of healthcare by repealing and replacing Obamacare."
That seems pretty clear to me.
The Massachusetts Miracle took place in the 1980,s. There was a terrific and devastating downturn in the economy there prior to Romney's term in office which began in 2003. They were losing jobs at a record pace:
“Massachusetts is number one in the nation in job losses, shedding 4.7 percent of all jobs over the last two years. The state has lost 71,000 manufacturing jobs, or 17 percent; 69,000, or nearly 14 percent, of all jobs in the professional and business services sector; and nearly 18 percent of all jobs in the information industry.” (Boston Globe April 2003)
While Romney was governor that changed and even though the rate of increase in job creation ranked 47th - that was a great turnaround from the situation that has previously existed. Romney did a great job as governor and you are a liar.
69% of SH respondents think that it was a success. Back in 2008, 68% of SodaHeads hoped and believed that McCain would be elected. Wrong, as usual.
