SPEECH EXCERPTS INDICATE A MULTIFACETED REVEAL AND APPEAL AS TO WHO MITT ROMNEY IS............

Excerpts of the Acceptance Speech Mitt Romney will deliver three hours from now, released by the Romney-Ryan campaign will have him sharing more of his personal and family story than he has to date, making illustrative references to his father and mother, his business success, his community, including church involvement.  He will make direct appeal to those who proudly voted for Barack Obama four years ago, but are less proud of President Obama today, than they were of candidate Obama they day they helped elect him.  A strong pitch to women is also included, as he chronicles his mother's campaign for U.S. Senate, his selection of a woman Lieutenant Governor, and the number of women he appointed as Governor.  How convincingly he succeeds in generating a positive response to the narrative and oration he shares, now depends on his effective delivery and the authenticity of the message in the minds and hearts of the viewing audience beyond the Tampa Bay Times Forum arena, who are either undecided, unsure, or softly supportive of the President.  The bar is set high, and was elevated last night by the style and likeability / comfortability with which Paul Ryan delivered his speech last night.  Ryan was introduced on videotape by his wife.  Romney will be introduced live, in person, by Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who is young, handsome, telegenic, and will be doing his most to maximize not only an effective introduction of Mitt Romney, but a present and future furtherance of his own political and governmental (dare I say, presidential ) life.  More continuing soon............tdp
