| Reuters: GOP candidates trade barbs, but one will carry the torch in 2012. |

Last night, Broward County Young Republicans hosted a crowd of over 30 people to cheer on their favorite Republican presidential candidates on television at the Reagan Presidential Library. Young men and women from wide-ranging backgrounds came together to rally for the common purpose of electing a Republican candidate to defeat President Obama in 2012.
That task could not be more critical.
With an economy creating 0 jobs and unemployment stuck at over 9 percent, we know that the Obama tax-and-spend economic model is just not working for America. The President's far left, class warfare policies may sound good to union thugs and environmental nuts, but they aren't putting anyone back to work.
Although the economy falters under Obama's boot, government growth has been prolific. Big Brother is crowding out private enterprise. Burdensome regulation and mandates are choking off individual freedom and responsibility. Is this really the America we know and love? Of course not.
We need a fundamentally different path for our country, and that begins by hiring a new leader. Last night we saw a stage full of Republicans with bold, fresh ideas to turn around the Obama economy and return America to her rightful position of leadership. One of them will be the Republican nominee next year. Whomever you support for President, remember we are united in our mission to limit President Obama to one term. We cannot accomplish that goal by way of bloodying our own troops.
As Ronald Reagan concluded his remarks to the 1976 Republican National Convention, he noted the urgency of working together to get the GOP nominee to victory on Election Day. "We must go forth from here united, determined that what a great general said a few years ago is true: There is no substitute for victory, Mr. President." Republicans failed that task in 1976, and the country suffered four years of Jimmy Carter's malaise.
Today, that call is every bit as urgent. We cannot afford another four years of Obama malaise. There is no substitute for victory.
