Darting across eight battleground states, Mitt Romney
spent the final weekend of the presidential race delivering a muscular
critique of the Obama administration and saying he is uniquely qualified
to end the partisan gridlock in Washington that threatens to push the
country into a double-dip recession.
Mr. Romney, urging his flag-waving supporters to “walk with me” toward a “new beginning,” said Mr. Obama walked away from the promises he made on the stump four years ago.
“The question of this election comes down to this: Do you want more of the same, or do you want real change?” Mr. Romney said. “President Obama promised change, but he could not deliver change. Now I promise change, and I have a record of achieving real change.”
The Republican presidential nominee’s frenetic schedule is evidence of just how tight Tuesday’s contest is, and how many major states are considered up for grabs.
Over the weekend, Mr. Romney hit Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Hampshire, Iowa, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Florida. He spoke in a sprawling amphitheater, on factory floors and inside airport hangars, and deployed some star power, including NASCAR legend Richard Petty, National Football League Hall-of-Famer Bart Starr and musician Kid Rock, the rocker behind Mr. Romney’s campaign song “Born Free.”
