Mitt Romney delivered his victory speech in the Nevada caucuses — a stump speech that was largely a repeat from his victory in the Florida primary earlier in the week.
“Thank you, Nevada. You know, this is not the first time you gave me your vote of confidence,” Romney said, referring to how he had also won the Nevada caucuses in 2008. “And this time I’m gonna take it to the White House.”
Romney also emphasized the unemployment numbers — while also carefully threading the needle of the past week’s very positive job creation numbers — reiterating his theme that Obama’s policies on health care, financial reform, and energy made a bad economy worse.
“Mr. President, we welcome any good news on the jobs front — but it is thanks to the innovation of the American people in the private sector, and not to you, Mr. President.”
Romney also declared fairly newer line: “This president began his presidency by apologizing for America. He now should be apologizing to America!”
