The first guy named George Bush gave the worst acceptance speech in recent memory with that thousand points of light speech and his Clint Eastwood promise "Read my lips, no new taxes" when he was lying through his teeth. But as bad as that speech was he was following Dan Quayle who I am sure gave a forgettable speech as he was a forgettable vice-president.
Ryan gave a great speech for the same reason Palin gave a great speech, they were not political hacks who had given any national convention speeches of any length and they were surprise picks who had not been overcoached and they came across natural.
Mittens will probably come across as honest and sincere as some has been celebrity pitching a CD collection for Time-Life records.
I wish him the best of success. Halting obastard is JOB #1.
You don’t reverse a truck without stopping it first. That may be all Mittens does. Turning things around may be a job for the next generation, not a Boomer.
