COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- It's a family affair as Gov. Romney and his wife Ann spend the final days of the campaign trail in Colorado Springs.

The duo speaking to thousands of potential voters about the change the republican nominee would bring to people disappointed with the President.

"He was going to focus on creating jobs instead he focused on Obama Care and that killed jobs.  He said he was going to cut the federal deficit in half, instead he doubled it," Mitt Romney, the Republican Presidential Nominee said.

Mitt Romney attacking Barack Obama and our country's dismal unemployment rates, referencing Friday's jobs report with overall unemployment now at 7.9 percent.

The governor telling voters he can do what Obama didn't in Washington.

"He was right when he said he can't change Washington from the inside, you can take him at his word, that's why we're going to send him outside," Romney said.

Romeny's final appeal to voters resonating with the thousands of people in the crowd.

"Just to have people believe in America and to feel that sense of enthusiasm again," Lori Thompson, a Colorado voter said.

Enthusiasm the Republican Party hopes will carry over into Tuesday's election.

The vice presidential candidates and President Obama are also spending the weekend in Colorado as part of their "battleground blitz" during the final three days before the election.
