Conservative political scientist and presidential election analyst Charles Dunn believes Mitt Romney's acceptance speech at last night's GOP convention was a grand slam.
After being introduced by Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), the presidential nominee approached the stage via an aisle lined with applauding delegates. The former Massachusetts governor, once he made it to the podium and quieted the cheering, wasted no time in addressing President Barack Obama's record on the economy -- and pointing out the philosophical differences between himself and the incumbent.
"He had almost no experience working in a business. Jobs to him are about government," said Romney. "I learned the real lessons about how America works from experience."
The GOP presidential nominee hopes that the American people will believe that his experience is what the country needs to turn around the economy. In his acceptance speech, Romney depicted Obama as a well-meaning but inept man who must be replaced.
Dr. Charles W. Dunn of Regent University says Romney's speech hit it out of the park. "I consider the speech as a grand slam homerun," he tells OneNewsNow. "So when the convention ended, the attendees left enthusiastic and generally unified behind the Romney-Ryan ticket."
Dunn believes the bump out of the convention can carry Romney to victory.
"I think we can expect when the dust settles that Romney and the Republicans will have a significant bounce that could go into that four- to six-percent bullish range," he predicts. "He could be bullish about winning in November."
According to the Regent University educator, Romney's bounce can withstand the onslaught that is sure to emerge from the Democratic National Convention next week in Charlotte, North Carolina.
