Now last night Paul Ryan -- just a few short weeks ago did not think he would even be standing on that stage at all.

Really -- his argument for change in the White House throughout his speech and that he brought it home.

This why.

We believe.

We will not spend the next four years blaming others we will take responsibility.

We will not try to replace our founding principles we will re apply our founding principles.

The work ahead will be hard.

Each time demand the best -- all of -- All of us but we can do this.

Weekend.

Together.

We can do this.

We can get this country working again we can get this economy growing again.

We can make the safety net safe again.

We can do this.

Whatever your political -- let's come together for the sake of our country.

Join Mitt Romney and me let's give this hampered everything we have not seen anything all the way.

Let's get him.

Thank you and god bless you all.

That was the final moments.

His big speech last night we can do this and let's get this done you can see the refrain.

That coming back throughout the course and -- joining us is Republican congresswoman.

Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota former 2012 presidential.

Not the candidate herself good to see it -- does not you good morning.

What you think I was so excited I was seated with my Minnesota delegation on the floor we were on our beat everyone was clapping we were cheering.

Because it struck me.

That the words the Paul gave in that final rousing rendition of this speech.

Was giving action to Barack Obama's years words for eight years earlier I hope and change that's what he just that.

We can do this we can get this done together it doesn't matter what our political background -- Republican Democrat.

We can do this and so what he was saying the American people as.

This is -- because we're bringing change where she gonna do this Chapman were gonna get it -- together.

No matter -- political affiliation it was the greatest message -- at what the fulfillment of hole.

Change and unity and that there was reluctance from the Tea Party when -- candidate Mitt Romney as the nominee how much does that change with outlined in the dynamic now what kind of enthusiasm we've -- from -- I'm seeing a great deal of enthusiasm because I know Paul Raines who worked with him shoulder to shoulder of the House of Representatives.

In the -- -- the tea Tea Party stands for three important things we believe we're taxed enough already government should spend more than what it takes it and we should follow the constitution.

-- abides by all of those that's his message that's Mitt Romney's message what's even better as the Tea Party message is now -- The Republican Party platform.

We succeeded why don't police and now we can get behind this ticket and -- actually see our principles go forward.

I ran on a signature issue which is the full scale repeal of the president's health care plan.

Mitt Romney has fully embrace that repeal message and he has told me.

Face to face Michelle I will repeal the president's health care plan.

That will truly bring about energized growth for businesses.

It's the number one reason why businesses are hiring and -- businesses know that we have two man in the White House to get business and to get growth.

The signals percent in and business people make investments and start hiring.

-- it's really the signals that business people follow and when you have two people committed to action like you've heard this comment.

Then people know they can start taking that money that's been sitting on the sidelines will see jobs develop within six months.

We've how much of momentum of the Tea Party helped it in 2010 and it did it hit an election the -- it'll be able to see how much they can impact.

The general election.

As well at the presidential level I want to show you and get your thoughts on just one other moment that got a lot of attention last night from Paul Ryan -- -- out on.

College graduates should not have to live out their twenties in their childhood bedrooms.

Staring up -- fading Obama posters.

I'm wondering when they can move out and get going with life.

-- that you know in his speech you wanna create a visual image for people thought hey you just picture at this point -- way out and every set is it is childhood bedroom -- his parents Thomas he put it staring up at baiting Obama poster I mean.

In that that was a very strong visual all no kidding as a momma -- a college graduates and have kids in college I think parents across -- that you -- Of the -- of the college graduates are saying yeah I -- job.

That was the brilliant line it was my favorite line of the entire night because you see those hope and change posters out there and then you see -- -- -- peeling off the wall.

Because the sad reality is that half of the kids that graduated from.

College don't have jobs and that's also part of the true.

Hole and change message that visual I think it shows a great sense of humor and confidence -- that's what I saw last night a lot of inspired.

Joyful confidence for going to see that for the next 68 days.

That's -- the American people want worth that kind of people just joyful confident people.

And they want to see candidates that also have that message I'm really excited about this convention and very excited about tonight's methods.

With Mitt Romney as a former competitor Mitt Romney.

He will be he will deliver I have no confidence -- -- no no no doubt in the world.

I have seen Mitt Romney -- I think we all have he's very good on his feet.

And he will deliver tonight for the American people it's going to be a strong powerful message show -- always Tennessee congressman thank you very much and congratulations on sending your last.

Well not to let it -- I even did you have forty children blocking a house right -- All right thanks good to see you think you -- simulated -- -- You know they never really leave you.

-- -- -- -- -- and I nearly blowing and we changed a lot -- -- black and I don't know if not all of a night.
