OK I have to say I thought Ann Romney gave a really good speech. Personally I'm not a big fan of these nominees wives making speeches in part because the those speeches end up being a bit on the chick-ish side. But I thought that after being a little neervous at the start she gave a good speech. She demonstrated that great womanly trait of saying something without actually saying it. If you know what I mean.

On PBS we saw four hours of the speeches and excellent governors plus Newt demolishing the Panel. No cable here, either.

Don't forget the vagina costumes. Now if they could just get some guys to join them and dress up as feminine deodorant spray. That'd be total class that securityman can appreciate, eh?
