Good to see you, Fishtalk.

I’d like to have a Rep. governor-what do hear about Cragg’s chances?

Liking Sandoval. Never heard him before. Good strong voice. Hand gestures a little distracting.

Just watching the coverage on TV:

FOX is showing the GOP convention

MSNBC has an angry guy who claims she has a vagina and some white haired guy yelling about “how dare they let people have guns and oppose killing babies.”

CNN has a couple of crack brave reporters pretending to be scared and stand in the middle of a hurricane

ABC CBS NBC is showing Americas Got Talent, NCIS, and Happy Endings: apparently a documentary on Bill Clinton and Monica.

I really think if he wanted to he could have let the crowd go wild,but seems he was worried about time concerns. Still a great speech.

I’ve been done with the RNC since ‘08. I donate directly to individual candidates.

Like in 08, we’ll be voting for the VP. Romney made a fabulous choice. Maybe too good of a choice, because I don’t see Paul Ryan rolling over to big government ideas, which he’s fought against all his career!

You’re right: the campaign must let Ryan be Ryan. He speaks the truth and he’s very likable and persuasive. He’s the serious adult and voters trust and believe him.

Romney will have to win this election on Paul Ryan’s back.

A bump in the road.

It is great that they are taking Obama’s own words and using them against him.

Like the way they are using Obama’s own words against him.
Santorum up. Already obvious he is a very good orator.

Don’t think Cragg gonna beat Markell.

Down here big race is Booth/Bodenweiser. Booth took that job at Sussex Tech....want to teach those elected political elite think they own their jobs a lesson.
