With just one day to the election, Republican nominee Mitt Romney addressed a crowd of constituents in Sanford, Florida.
Romney encouraged people to caste their votes for America's president 2012, "Tomorrow, we begin a new tomorrow. Tomorrow we begin a better tomorrow. This nation is going to begin to change for the better tomorrow. Your work is making a difference, the people of the world are watching, the people of America are watching. We can begin a better tomorrow tomorrow and with the help of the people in Florida, that's exactly what's going to happen," as reported by the Washington Post.
He made a last attempt to convince independent or possible swing voters to reconsider their decision (i.e. for those leaning towards an Obama re-election). "Now there may be some of your friends and family members who haven't made up their mind yet who they're going to vote for. So I'd ask them to look beyond the speeches and beyond the attacks and even beyond all the ads, look to the record. You see talk is cheap, but a record, that's real and it's earned with real effort.
