Mitt Romney’s campaign stopped into Sarasota on Thursday, where the former Massachusetts governor addressed the main points of his platform, with no mention of the recent video leaked to Mother Jones magazine that’s seemed to have put his campaign in jeopardy.
Romney held a rally at the Ringling Museum to an impressively large and supportive audience. The governor touched on his usual points, almost seeming to purposefully not mention his recently revealed remarks that 47% of Americans feel overly entitled. Instead the candidate discussed his economic plans all while lambasting President Obama for not holding up his promises.
“The President is waving the white flag of surrender again. He’s saying he can’t change Washington from the inside.” Romney said of some of Obama’s statement earlier in the day on Univision . “I can change Washington, I will change Washington, we’ll get the job done from the inside, Republicans and Democrats will come together. He can’t do it. His slogan was yes we can, his new slogan is no I can’t. It’s time for a new president.”
Florida is the state that can make or break a campaign gunning for the White House and it seems the Romney/Ryan ticket is very aware of this. The Romney rally came less than a week after Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan stopped in Oldsmar to garner support.
