In upbeat speech, Romney vows to continue campaign

By Globe Staff

Mitt Romney gave an upbeat speech to his supporters at his election night party, vowing to continue campaigning.

He said he had heard time and time again from people that they were frustrated and felt Washington is "broken." He portrayed himself as the candidate who would fix it, citing his experience in business, heading the Olympics, and as governor of Massachusetts.

"I believe it is time to send somebody to Washington who will actually get the job done," he said.

In an apparent jab at McCain, he said he didn't think that "insiders" could get things done in Washington.

"I think you have to have somebody from outside Washington who has proven he can get the job done," he said.

He promised to "strengthen America and stand up for the values that we believe in."
