LOL. Such an awkward crowd. At least they didn't pick a country song.

So, a 10 year old girl who runs a lemonade stand is more qualified than Obama? Tongue

Also, singing 'Amazing Grace' is sure to drive in us Jewish voters Repubs.

I saw something in the news about delegates shouting down the speaker from Puerto Rico with chants of "USA!" and "Go home!"

Please, for the sake of everyone's sanity, let that be just a rumor.....

Just a small section of fascists, I think. Still disgusting though.
Doesn't sound small to me (though it was a mix of "USA" and "Seat Them Now", so a mix of racists and Paulites protesting).

Ah yes. Santorum must have gripped many "hands". Many many thick and strong "hands". When you've seen as many hands as I have...

Though in all seriousness, this might have been the best speech I've heard all day.
It definitly was, but that's not saying much when every other speech was mediocre at best. Good for him, I guess.

If anything, it was more like Cuomo's '84 keynote (though Cuomo's is one of the greatest speeches of all time, this is not). He barely mentioned the actual candidate, but instead threw in some red meat for the base to eat up. Chrisite did quite well. He's certainly on the path for 2016.

I didn't bother watching last night's stuff. However, I find it amusing that the consensus on this board seems to be that Christie did a great job and that Ann Romney was bad and/or nothing special.

Why? Because the consensus pretty much everywhere else is the exact opposite.

I think everyone here agrees he did a good job, however, it is laughable when some call it one of the greatest speeches in modern political history. It wasn't even close to that,

He talks about peace and freedom, yet he basically is saying he will bomb Iran.

Also, if Israel is so great, why does it have....EVIL SOCIALIST MEDICINE!!!!!
