-- -- -- watched the this speech is fantastic was the keynote speech is the closing speech the place went crazy fantastic great job.
But for me the most touching inspirational moment was when you've got down -- -- podium afterwards and you walked through the crowd take me through that.
Now that that's my most favorite -- actually getting to shaking hands with folks who make that extra effort to be involved in to say.
And nothing is enough of the status -- -- what governments trying to do to us we just want to get back to common sense constitutional principles.
They've taken effort to be there.
I would think -- I was very pleased to my two oldest daughters were with me I like them to get to witness to.
People who appreciate the effort that you're trying to -- It it is so worth it governor and my wife and I are watching and -- broader ovitz and watch this and this is when you're in the crowd.
There were people young people standing on chairs just to get it once they -- warning close -- to get an autograph or to talk to you they just wanted to see you.
That was inspiring there's a young conservative movement that.
You may be tapping into.
I don't I think it's a bit of a curiosity factor there is who is this.
Staying from the last categories and are in it in our territory at this time -- maybe it's that but.
It here what IC.
The coming months coming down to is and those young people really tapping into this -- -- people while demographics really who care about.
Defending a Republican the future of our country.
It's coming down to.
A big government party and a party of freedom loving Americans.
And we're gonna battle out of the court of public opinion and work will cast our.
Ballots accordingly.
It's not a partisan issue it's it's not based on race or are demographic or -- your religion everything else it's do you believe that government is answer.
Are you freedom loving American who has enough -- In in our free market system -- yourself to make good decisions for you.
And that's what I think a lot of these young kids were reflecting is they eight.
Understanding.
That they -- -- to make the right decisions.
And some faraway elitist government in Washington DC is less equipped to make decisions for them.
They may be looking for someone with that exact attitude do that.
-- they have an option of the current candidates.
I'd say any of the candidates are so much better than Barack Obama they really are if anybody who is -- enough to have read the Republican platform.
And understands that this free -- and free markets and smaller government that that is the answer.
Then -- You know that they have better ideas and they they should be able to air on the side.
The constitution.
At all times and they will be better than what we have today in the White House.
Is that enough.
-- -- What we're still lacking is a lot of that enthusiasm for what any one individual that enthusiasm will rise up when that nominee is chosen is just a heck of a process easier to get to that point.
At have been the nominee chosen.
All I'm half streets all 4 candidates and am I so respect them for being willing to serve -- it's tough it.
I understand why others have chosen not to run this -- around especially when you consider.
What were all facing with the mainstream media trying to destroy your records are reputations.
Even our families.
It's so important there.
You said this go around.
Where do you go from here -- I mean M.
Thankful that I I know that I that you so many people we can make a difference without having title without being.
Should tackle to an officer put in a box right now and that's wearing am right now.
But.
-- cannot predict what will happen in the future but I know that.
You know got the fire -- belly to try to help to try to make a difference and if that involves.
Running for public office at some point in the future.
I'm being for that.
-- elaborate.
Didn't -- because as I don't.
What it will be solid job -- and -- but simply put.
I have to ask this question what is your place where we your place in history -- what will the political science textbooks fifty years from now say that our grandchildren are reading.
All they say.
Regarding Sarah -- My goodness I hope that.
It will be -- some of reflection of the message that I have that I believe even resonates with.
The average American and ordinary American again who just wants good things for our country and it was Lou Holtz football great day -- Lou Holtz who had said.
God didn't make ordinary people he made all of us to do extraordinary.
Things so when I talk about an average ordinary American.
I say with all due respect to every individual American.
Being equipped to do extraordinary things whether that's just within your family in a business in your small community.
-- in our country.
Know that my message is I believe are a representative message of Americans.
Knowing how.
To keep right priorities in order knowing how to make right decisions not been reliant on politicians to do -- any of this force.
Government can't make us.
Happy healthy wealthier -- Americans need to not assume.
That.
The White House that Barack Obama's administration will provide any of that for us.
Governor.
A lot of people are saying it can't happen and don't necessarily agree -- thumb if one of the nominees one of the GO peers doesn't get enough delegates it could go to -- brokered convention and if we did if it does get to that and someone said.
Governor would you be interested would you be interest that.
Well for one I think that it could get to that end you know if it had that if it had to be.
-- it closed at today the whole nominating process then we.
We would be looking at a brokered convention I -- -- is quite there yet.
So I think that months from now if that's the case then.
You know.
All bets are rock ST who it will be willing to offer themselves up in the name of service to their country.
I would I would do -- I could to help.
That's that's fantastic.
