TAMPA, Fla. – Mitt Romney on Thursday kicked off the final, crucial phase of his bid to become the country’s 45th president, accepting the Republican nomination and urging the nation to look closely at his resume, his vision and his remedies for the ailing economy.

“I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division,” Romney told a raucous crowd waving signs saying, “Believe” and “Mitt!”

“This isn’t something we have to accept,” he insisted. “Now is the moment when we can do something. And with your help we will do something.” Full story.

Well. Do we deserve better?
