Supporters rally behind Mitt Romney, saying he has energized the Republican campaign for a final push to the White House.

In a major speech, the Republican candidate took to the podium Thursday (August 30) night, calling for political change.

Romney urged voters to help him rebuild the U.S. economy and appealed to those disillusioned with President Barack Obama.

The speech was met by cheers at the Republican National Convention.

Despite a minor disruption by protesters, many hailed the speech.

As the balloons came down, Republicans said they were ready for victory.
