Grand Rapids, MI–

Governor Romney held a “get out the vote rally” of 150 people in a warehouse of an office furniture business this morning. This is Romney’s only event today before what the confident campaign is billing a “victory party” later this evening. Standing in front of “Washington is Broken” signs and a high school jazz band Romney was confident on primary day saying he believes “the American people are going to do the right thing today.” He spoke about his father, a three-term governor here and a presidential candidate in 1968:

“This is the day that’s gonna change, I believe, the politics in the nation, as we get ready to select our nominee. I think Michigan is gonna vote for a Romney again—I’m planning on it.”

While introducing his wife, Ann to the crowd, it was clear his father was on both of their minds:

“Ann, as I said, I think she fell in love with dad even before she fell in love with me. She knew my dad and thought he was the greatest and we obviously miss him on a day like today,” the presidential hopeful continued, “He would be here, I’ll tell you, I don’t know how we’d hold him down. He’d be going from place to place to place. He’d be arguing with people that had a sticker on for somebody else, telling them, ‘You can’t vote for that guy! You gotta vote for my son.’”

Romney, who was born and raised in Michigan, ended with one last plea:

“Let’s get out there and vote!”
