I thought it was a home run over the fence. He said “exceptional” or “exceptionalism” probably a dozen times, used the dreaded “C” word (Constitution), and overall I thought that with the exception of the Medicare line, Ronald Reagan easily could have given this speech.
Well I am reassured by your take. I guess it just did not connect for me since it was a speech for independent or leaning voters, not for those like myself who cannot fathom how ANYONE is going to vote FOR 0 in Nov.
Correct, as usual.
Romney's speech threaded the needle - it appealed to conservatives without turning away the mushy-brained, it effectively countered the Richie Rich attacks launched by the libs, and it attacked Obama with a hint of disappointment and regret. Romney talking about Obama's failures reminded me of the look I got from my Dad when I told him I got a "D" on one of my math tests. Very effective. :)
