Tampa, Florida: Mitt Romney has been formally nominated by Republicans on Tuesday at a convention at Tampa, Florida to fight President Barack Obama in the November 6 presidential election.
The nomination sets up a two-month dash to the upcoming election, with polls showing Romney running even or slightly behind Obama.
At the convention, Republicans condemned Obama’s economic record and reminded voters of the country’s stubbornly high unemployment rate and ballooning budget deficit, Reuters reported.
Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, warned that re-electing Obama would mean “four more years of failure.”
“We have a message for America: Elect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and they’ll get America working again,” he said. “We must send America’s comeback team to Washington.”
Romney, who had originally planned to stay out of the spotlight until Thursday night when he accepts his party’s nomination, made an early appearance in the Florida host city to be on hand for his wife’s turn at the podium.
