Yes it was a more than acceptable keynote. Ann was far better though. IMO.

"Christie is a great speaker, but Ann did such a great job, he has a hard act to follow."

Sorry, but I disagree. If the two of them are the best speakers we can throw out the night of the latest Katrina in NOLA, we are so screwed.

Gimme Sarah, she made me proud. Those two make me want to go pukers.

I want to hear somebody call Obamalamadingdong a Socialist POS. Him and his peeps need to be called what they are.

It will be a miracle if we beat the Obama crew with these nitwits.

“Real leaders don’t follow polls. Real leaders change polls.”. - Chris Christie

His best line, I think.

I actually had to stop myself from jumping up from the couch and clapping. Woohoo!

I dont think Mitt looks tired. I think he looks very humble and thoughtful. Mitt is probably just praying inside, “God don’t let me screw this up”

Indeed. Awesome awesome speech.

I pray to God that he means every word, because nothing less will save this nation.

Guide our course Lord.

God help those folks at MSNBC - Rachel, what’s her name, just said that, though she likes Chris Christie as an orator, she thought that his speech was all about him, and that she was totally shocked by it...

Yes but did you catch Brokejaw trying to deflate it somewhat with his “this election will be about gender” crap?
