I just watched the speech that Mitt Romney gave suspending his campaign. He did an excellent job of defining the biggest challenges facing our nation today, and what our Party must do to meet them. He was every bit the outstanding speaker that I remember seeing at the CRP convention a while back in LA…inspiring, articulate, and thoroughly motivating. His speech today was strong, gracious, and patriotic to the “n-th” degree. I know this is not an easy day for those who fought so hard for their candidate. Romney is a very good man, and a class act. Personally, I’m so proud that he is a Republican, and I know that he will fight on for the principles we hold dear. Governor Romney gave us all our marching orders…it’s time to come together to ensure that we win the White House. He outlined his belief that a Clinton or Obama presidency would mean defeat in the war against radical jihadists, and we cannot allow that to happen.

Many of you know I am a McCain supporter, and have been since 1999 when I loaded up my minivan with my 2 year old, my 6 month old, and McCain yard signs to deliver. My greatest hope is that my pals from the Flash Report who have not been involved in the McCain campaign so far will let me know if they would like to help out. We’ve had hundreds of volunteers all over the state, making phone calls to get out the vote, putting out yard signs when we received them, and doing all we could to rally every last voter to the polls. There are endless opportunities for all of you to help us defeat the Democratic nominee, and we will welcome you with open arms of shared purpose and the gratitude of humble campaign that loves our country as much as you do.

As a Republican and a patriotic American, I am so proud of Governor Romney’s campaign and his speech today. He showed us all what it means to serve a purpose higher than ourselves. Well done, Sir.
