This stage and this moment are very improbable for me.

A New Jersey Republican delivering the keynote address to our national convention, from a state with 700,000 more Democrats than Republicans.

A New Jersey Republican stands before you tonight.

Proud of my party, proud of my state and proud of my country.

I am the son of an Irish father and a Sicilian mother.

My Dad, who I am blessed to have with me here tonight, is gregarious, outgoing and loveable.

My Mom, who I lost 8 years ago, was the enforcer. She made sure we all knew who set the rules.

In the automobile of life, Dad was just a passenger. Mom was the driver.

They both lived hard lives. Dad grew up in poverty. After returning from Army service, he worked at the Breyers Ice Cream plant in the 1950s. With that job and the G.I. bill he put himself through Rutgers University at night to become the first in his family to earn a college degree. Our first family picture was on his graduation day, with Mom beaming next to him, six months pregnant with me.

Mom also came from nothing. She was raised by a single mother who took three buses to get to work every day. And mom spent the time she was supposed to be a kid actually raising children - her two younger siblings. She was tough as nails and didn't suffer fools at all. The truth was she couldn't afford to. She spoke the truth - bluntly, directly and without much varnish.

I am her son.

Only one was the full speech, Rana. My goal was to find a video of the whole speech, and Mrs. Romney's as well. I haven't found that one yet, nor was the full speech a video, the video was short. The text is good though, but I didn't post the whole text.

But.. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself. Your sarcastic "wit" isn't half as good as my eldest daughter's.

The first one is pathetic quality. haven't listened to the second one, looks goofy and amateurish.

Does it not seem strange, that here it is, the 21st century, and the ability to stream and post video and information instantly from all over the world, and there isn't a website set up by the RNC and enabled with the ability to download clips or the whole damn convention, as it happens?

It wouldn't matter. Their main audience are old farts who can't program their dvr's so have to watch it live. It was very inspiring to see so many of them manage to stand up under Christie's direction last night though huh! I was like, woo hoo!
