Marco Talks to Andrea Mitchell Pre-Convention Speech

the Romney campaign is given the top honor of introducing Mitt Romney tomorrow night to a rising Republican star Florida

senator Marco Rubio center review joins me now senator wells nndb thank you I think nnj

of the web obviously we are faring much better here than hard for neighbors in Orleans let's talk about

I think there's two things I hope people take away from this convention the first is irrespective of how folks may feel about an issue or whether they agree or disagree with governor Romney I

hope is that group new recognition of how successful he spent as a person and his role as a father and a husband a member of his church member

of his community I think that's important to know that and I thought hope that'll come through through this convention and into my speech tomorrow night the

second of course is the choice because this election is a choice and that's the one thing both candidates agree on both the president is saying that a governor on the same they

speaks of the party has organized this to show as much diversity as possible we saw some of the new faces a lot of women yesterday just

the placement out there of where the delegations are Puerto Rico in the Marianas islands the

district of Columbia up front given prime prime real estate merely to show off diverse faces your

these are real actions real people and got elected that happen to be of minority descent and Hispanic descent these things happen so that's the first thing I would say about it the
