Team of Rivals

Speaking as a successful businessman, he said that, "America is strong because of the ingenuity and entrepreneurship and hard work of the American people."

He also blasted liberals for failing to recognize "the threat from radical, violent Jihad."

Romney will have a lot going for him the next time around. He'll begin with much stronger name recognition, have more years of distance from his numerous policy flip flops, and he'll benefit from the Republican tendency to nominate the candidate whose turn it is.

But if the reaction to last night's speeches inside the Xcel Energy Center is any indication, both Huckabee and Romney will have their work cut out for them the next time around. It seems that the Republican Party has found a favorite daughter in their newly minted vice-presidential nominee, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
