The R.N.C.

I watched parts between cooking and playing with the dog. Overall, I can't say much more than "Meh". There were some good rehashes of stump speeches and lively speakers, but the whole night made the Republicans feel more like a loose collection of big personalities than a unified party with a coherent platform. Like I said, meh.

Yea, some of the touchie feelie stuff sounded like the Dems.

I missed the coverage. Did Chris Christie deliver his speech in English or in his native language, Huttese?

Is it just me, or does Christie "remind" anybody else of a conservative Harry Truman?

It's cute how Romney is so wooden and he always sends Ann out to talk "to" the common folk.

.. should have had Gov Brewer make a speech after Ann Romney. I sell some anti wrinkle/aging creme that would really help both of them.

He reminds me of a certain intergalactic crime boss who has Han Solo decorating his rec room wall.

What? No comments as to the content of their speeches? Just silly ridicule and name calling? Typical of liberal posters. I'm just sayin. You guys prove it every time.

Ann Romney's speech was dignified and positive, IMO. Can't wait to see the parade of angry women the Dems will put up.

I think some are just having fun, and I think my entire first post was comments as to the content of the speeches. I could get more specific if you would like, but for time sake I summarized my feeings and thoughts on their speeches.

I will also give an "fair and balanced" recap of the D.N.C. when it comes as well.

No, Vulch. Your comments were well put. But you see the bandwagon. The networks are out there doing the same thing. Its' amazing that they watched the same speeches I did.

Anyone notice how much Ann Romney sounds like Sarah Palin?

She's got way more class and brains than Palin, and I've never heard her once say youbetcha.

Saw Clint's speech on the news this morning, it had been reviewed as being rambling & disjointed, etc. I found it to be nothing of the sort. Seemed relevant, humorous, and made many good points, at least to my way of thinking. Perhaps the reviewer is guilty of some of that media conspiracy mindset.
