Following Tuesday’s official nomination of the Romney-Ryan ticket, Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann Romney, praised her husband during a prime-time television speech.

Ann Romney: “I can’t tell you what will happen over the next four years, but I can only stand here tonight, as a wife and a mother and a grandmother, an American, and make you this solemn commitment. This man will not fail. This man will not let us down. This man will lift up America.”

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gave the keynote address at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night. Addressing President Obama, Christie said that “real leaders” don’t listen to public opinion, they shape it.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie: “I believe in America and her history, and there’s only one thing missing now: leadership. It takes leadership that you don’t get from reading a poll. You see, Mr. President, real leaders don’t follow polls; real leaders change polls.”
