Vote count forthcoming; more on stump speeches

The Republicans have voted, all depositing their picks in one of two large wooden boxes placed on the gym floor, but they haven’t yet counted the votes. First, they’re going to pick party delegates.

Now for the Mitt Romney representative. She told the crowd her candidate would “absolutely honor the office of president.” She also said he would “defend the unborn” (despite his pro-choice past).

She also hit on illegal immigration, a GOP flash point, by saying he would “secure our borders.”

“If we do not have that in Washington, as we have not in the last dozen years, we will lose our nation,” she said.

Orson Swindle, a friend of John McCain, won a round of applause when he stepped before the crowd. (He told me afterwards that he also happens to know Rockford’s own John Borling, a retired Air Force general and previous political candidate.)
