Romney - Josh, not Mitt - visits the Ohio delegation

Provided

Josh Romney, the middle child of Mitt Romney's five sons, gave the Ohio delegation a pep talk about his father this morning.

And guess what?

He thinks his dad would make a great president.

"This man is my hero,'' Josh Romney said in a brief speech to the Ohio delegation Monday morning. "I want people to get to know the real Mitt Romney and they will like what they see."

Josh Romney said he has traveled all over the country campaigning for his father over the past 18 months.

"Everywhere I go, I have people come up to me and tell me that they voted for Barack Obama four years ago and won't do it again,'' Josh Romney said. "I have yet to meet anyone who said to me that I voted for John McCain four years ago and now I am going to vote for President Obama.

"If anyone knows somebody like that, I'd like to meet him."
