Mitt Romney Sweeps All Five Primaries Last Night: "A Better America is Coming!"

Mitt Romney laid claim to the fiercely contested Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night with a fistful of primary triumphs, then urged all who struggle in a shaky U.S. economy to “hold on a little longer, a better America begins tonight.”

“As I look around at the millions of Americans without work, the graduates who can’t get a job, the soldiers who return home to an unemployment line, it breaks my heart,” he said. “This does not have to be. It is the result of failed leadership and of a faulty vision.”

“Government is at the center of his vision. It dispenses the benefits, borrows what it cannot take and consumes a greater and greater share of the economy,” he said.

He added that if the president’s hard-won health care law is fully installed, “government will continue to control half the economy, and we will have effectively ceased to be a free enterprise society.”

By contrast, he said, “I see an America with a growing middle class, with rising standards of living. I see children even more successful than their parents…”

Romney was eager to leave the nominating campaign behind.

“After 43 primaries and caucuses, many long days and not a few long nights, I can say with confidence — and gratitude — that you have given me a great honor and solemn responsibility,” he said.

Romney posed a series of rhetorical questions designed to lead voters to his side.

“Is it easier to make ends meet? Is it earlier to sell your home or buy a new one? Have you saved what you needed for retirement?” he asked.

“Are you making more in your job? Do you have a better chance to get a better job? Do you pay less at the pump?”

At each question, his partisan audience shouted, “No.”
