White House hopeful Mitt Romney will vow to \"restore the promise of America\" in a key speech Thursday as he accepts the Republican presidential nomination, according to excerpts released in advance. \"Many Americans have given up on this president but they haven\'t ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves. Not on each other. And not on America,\" he will say, urging voters to turn the page on \"the disappointments of the last four years.\"
