COLUMBUS, Ohio — Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney returned to Ohio on Monday, greeting a huge and passionate crowd of supporters in Columbus.
He thanked volunteers and encouraged them to keep working until the very end.
“Perhaps some of your friends and family have not made up their minds who they are going to vote for,” he said. “And when you talk to them ask them to look beyond the speeches and the ads and the attacks and to look at the record because talk is cheap, but a record is real and earned. Change can’t be measured in speeches. It is measured in results.”
Romney criticized the record of President Barack Obama.
“He said he was going to cut the federal deficit in half, he doubled it,” said Romney. ”He said unemployment would be at 5.2 percent, we learned it is 7.9 percent. That’s nine million jobs short of where we should be now.”
Most polls indicate Romney is trailing in Ohio but that he does maintain a chance of winning Ohio’s crucial 18 electoral votes.
He will campaign in Cleveland on Tuesday.
