Mitt Romney is addressing supporters in Schaumburg, Ill., following his victory in the Illinois primary. After an introduction from his wife Ann, he thanked supporters across Illinois, and across the country, and hearkened back to his campaign launch on a farm in New Hampshire.

“We shared the conviction that the America that we loved was in struggle and adrift without strong leadership. And three years of Barack Obama have brought us fewer jobs and shrinking paychecks,” said Romney. “But many of us believe we were in danger of losing something even more than the value of our homes and our 401Ks.”

“After years of too many apologies and not enough jobs, historic drops in income and historic highs in gas prices, a president who doesn’t hesitate to use all the means necessary to force through Obamacare on the American public, but leads from behind in the world.

“It’s time to say these words — this word: Enough. We’ve had enough. We know our future is brighter than these troubled times. We still believe in America, and we deserve a president who believes in us. And I believe in the American people.”
