Official Republican National Convention 2012 Discussion Thread

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The Revolution was in 59 and he left in 57?

Repression in Cuba didn't begin in 59. Just because the previous regime had US backing, didn't mean they were a Jeffersonian Democracy.

I love Artur Davis.

He is rocking it....awesome

"Obama is a radical leftist for passing the Heritage Foundation's healthcare plan!"

Yes, I know (I'm Cuban myself and no Batista fan), but it seems for a right-winger to have problems with a fellow right-wing leader.

Governor John Kasich is a spellbinding speaker, and gave a fantastic speech.  He can really hold your attention.  

Artur Davis delivered a truly great speech, calling on America to vote for a bright future with Romney, not a repeat of failure with Obama.

Well, Batista was an asshole too. And hardly a right-winger.

Also, Artur Davis gave a very good speech.

About Santorum, I wish there was a way for him to be like Santorum...but less aggressive with his social issues. Obviously, I want him to keep those values he holds, but if only there was a way he could be...more restrained with them.

[GLPman]

Artus Davis' speech was surprisingly good.

Here's Ann.

[後援会]

This is perhaps the most awkward primetime speech I have ever seen. But it does what it needs to do.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

She's an awful public speaker, but she does have some funny lines. Awkward chuckle funny, not laugh funny. I think Michelle Obama gave a better speech in 2008.

[Linus Van Pelt]

Well, this was ... possibly over-hyped.

[All Along The Watchtower]

"Mitt sees it as a privilege to help others..."

I wouldn't be so quick to use the word "privilege" if I were a Romney.

[pepper11]

You guys are off on this one...she wasn't talking to you...this was all to moms....it was perfect.

[後援会]

This is actually better than I expected. Then again, my expectations weren't that high because I suspected Romney convinced everyone in his campaign to give his wife a high-profile speech simply out of that whole love for her thing.

[All Along The Watchtower]

You guys are off on this one...she wasn't talking to you...this was all aout moms....it was perfect.

Privileged moms, no doubt.

[Cobbler]

I actually think Ann Romney is a good speaker and is doing a pretty good job.

[pepper11]

Yesssssss!!!!!! Thank you Ann romney

[Supersonic]

IT'S MITT!

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

His Rotundity has entered.

[Lincoln Republican]

To anyone being honest, Ann Romney hit this one out of the park.

She delivered the speech of her life.  She delivered an inspiring speech, a motivating speech, a speech for the ages.

She made it very clear, Mitt will not fail.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

The Media hyped it up as a speech where they'd attempt to "humanize" Romney. Instead she advertised him as a "Mr. Fix-It". Mrs. Romney succeeded in portraying herself as a human, but im not sure this helps Mitt much. Oh, here comes President, Governor Christie.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Time for the BIG speech.

[LiberalJunkie]

Time for the BIG speech.

LOL

Chris Christie praising the GI big government welfare program?
