Mitt Romney Accepts Nomination and Promises to 'Restore America'

In a precisely planned climax to the Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney accepted his party's presidential nomination and promised "restore America" by creating jobs and fulfilling the hope that he claims President Obama failed to deliver on.

In an energized address that followed three days of speeches by allies, friends and family members, Romney sought to reintroduce himself as a candidate who is sympathetic to the concerns of struggling Americans.
"I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed," Romney said. "But his promises gave way to disappointment and division."
"Today," Romney said, "the time has come for us to put the disappointments of the last four years behind us."
