Romney could put a wha-BANG on his speech tonight by ending the humor with a sudden turn, like this:
“We’ve had this minute of diversion, but let me finish right now by asking you all to stand and have 60 seconds of silence for our fallen in Afghanistan over the last 3 years, for our tortured and slain ambassador in Libya, and for his 3 former SEAL bodyguards. Thank you. Good evening.”
That’s just so, so touching.
