AND MADE HIS CASE -- DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC.

RNC LAST NIGHT-PKG

The nation's eyes were on Mitt Romney.the businessman and former Governor

who made his case for leading America.

SOT ROMNEY

What America needs is jobs. Lots of jobs

The Republican Nominee promised.if elected.12 million jobs over the next

4 years.

And he expressed disappointment in the current Chief Executive.

SOT ROMNEY

You know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president

when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him.

Romney also spoke of his Mormon faith.

And he spoke emotionally about his parents and his mother's run for the U-S

Senate.

SOT ROMNEY

I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, "Why should women have

any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?"

But his finale was combative.claiming President Obama has thrown U.S. ally

Israel "under the bus" and hadn't been tough enough with Russia.

SOT ROMNEY

Now is the moment when we can stand up and say: I'm an American. I make my

destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family

deserves better! My country deserves better!

The GOP's "mystery speaker" turned out to be Clint Eastwood.

But the legendary actor and director might have had more awkward moments.

like pretending this empty chair was President Obama.

SOT EASTWOOD

I can't tell Mitt Romney to do that to himself.

as he did effective attacks on the White House.

SOT EASTWOOD

When somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go.

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

After a wet and windy start to the work week, our weather will be trending toward a drier than normal pattern.

It will be another warm and muggy start to the day, but our skies will be sunny with a few high thin cirrus clouds drifting overhead. Temperatures will be quick to warm as they climb from the upper 70s to the middle 90s during the afternoon.

High pressure will continue to flex its muscle across the Florida Peninsula, thus bringing a more stable atmosphere overhead. We'll see the chance for an isolated shower or storm during the peak heating of the day along the sea breeze as it begins to work its way inland, however many of us will stay hot and dry under partly sunny skies.

Tonight, skies remain mostly clear with lows settling into the middle to upper 70s.

Our hot and mainly dry weather pattern will hold through the holiday weekend with sunny starts and a few spotty showers during the afternoon, while temperatures range from the low to mid 90s.

It will be another warm and muggy start to the day, but our skies will be sunny with a few high thin cirrus clouds drifting overhead. Temperatures will be quick to warm as they climb from the upper 70s to the middle 90s during the afternoon.

High pressure will continue to flex its muscle across the Florida Peninsula, thus bringing a more stable atmosphere overhead. We'll see the chance for an isolated shower or storm during the peak heating of the day along the sea breeze as it begins to work its way inland, however many of us will stay hot and dry under partly sunny skies.

Tonight, skies remain mostly clear with lows settling into the middle to upper 70s.

Our hot and mainly dry weather pattern will hold through the holiday weekend with sunny starts and a few spotty showers during the afternoon, while temperatures range from the low to mid 90s.
