The sun has set on the final day of the 2012 campaign season. For over a year now, we have watched candidates battle through a brutal Republican primary season that saw more frontrunners than even the wildest Kentucky Derby could see. While the Republicans fought their battles, President Obama sat in his corner, building his armada for the pending war.
From state to state across the nation, Mitt Romney rallied his warriors time and time again and beat what were at times great odds to emerge the victor of the Republicans. He immediately shifted focus to November and began putting his war machine together. His challenge was immense. The nation still reeling from economic troubles. He had to persuade the still bitter members of his own party, as well as the skeptical others across the country to trust him.
Many fell in line behind him with anti-Obama attitudes more than pro-Romney ones. The selection of Paul Ryan as his running mate, others began to see the commitment to something greater than self. Once the "i"s were dotted and the "t"s crossed at the nominating convention, things really picked up, but the incumbent maintained a healthy lead.
Enter the first debate.
For many, including our beloved media, the debates are "meaningless". They so rarely make a difference, some wonder why they continue to have them. Mitt Romney reminded us why. I have seen athletic teams crush completely helpless opponents, I have seen cars crumpled and destroyed in accidents, I have seen forces of nature annihilate structures, but I will never forget the blistering lambasting The Governor delivered to The Great Orator. Never before have I seen a man who supposedly cares so much about a cause have so little to say. He was limp. Inanimate. Empty. As politicians do, they tried to spin it. The president's campaign blamed the moderator for giving Romney control. They suggested all sorts of outlandish and outrageous excuses for the president's lack of..well...everything. Americans were smarter than that.
The entire race changed overnight.
Enthusiasm skyrocketed. Money poured in. The polls stopped and turned around. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan were knocking on the door at 1600 Pennsylvania. Suddenly, we did not have to settle for another four years of monotony. Suddenly, people saw a light.
Expectations for the remaining debates were high for the president. He had to stop his slip and slide; he had to right his ship. He came out feisty, but Romney was cool and relaxed and repudiated the president. Romney looked like the president and Obama the challenger. Romney moved through his plans for the future and Obama attacked and attacked, offering little policy of his own. It was too late. The nation had seen what they feared; a weak president with nothing to say, no new ideas to try.
Since the debates the momentum has carried and carried. States once securely blue turned gray, then shifted red. No amount of attack barrages could stop The Governor. It took a literal act of mother nature to slow him for a few days, but when the storms of Sandy had passed, the enthusiasm was still there. The media and the leftists have thrown all they could to help the president, but they just can't stop the movement.
November 6th, 2012: The day we, the people, the leaders of the free world, take charge of our future.
We believe in America, and we believe that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will lead us back to greatness.
