Mitt Romney accepted the Republican presidential nomination Thursday night with a vow to revive the U.S. economy and a plea to voters disappointed with President Obama’s first term.

Mitt Romney: “How many days have you woken up feeling that something really special was happening in America? Many of you felt that way on Election Day four years ago. Hope and change had a powerful appeal. But tonight I’d ask a simple question: If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn’t you feel that way now that he’s President Obama? You know there’s something wrong with the kind of job he’s done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him.”
