“People were saying, ‘It was like George Washington,’ ‘It was the Gettysburg Address.’ I mean, it was unbelievable, the response I heard from the people in there that heard it today. Almost everyone said they were moved to tears.” — Ann Romney, the wife of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, on the reaction she has heard to her husband’s “Faith in America” speech.
