I liked the New Mexico Governor. I absolutely, loved it when she said, “I'll be damned, we are Republicans!”.
Condi was not half bad and Mia Love was a firebrand.
I have no problem with the Romney strategy. Sorry that you do.
And if you didn't like Rubio’s or Ryan's speeches, well what can I say?
I agree. But someone should've told them. Ann Romney's speech was a totally wasted slot only put in there to try to pander to women. Not to mention pandering lines like Mitt's about what his wife did being "more important" than what we did.
I liked Ryan's speech and Martinez' and Rice's. Didn't see Mia Love's. Rubio's was all fluff, almost no discussion of what the heck we supposedly elected him to do or any of the contrast between the parties. Mitt's went in one ear and out the other, and I couldn't get through the whole thing without falling asleep. Every time he would start to sound like he was going to get into specifics either about his own life or his policies, he slipped right back into vague, boring platitudes.
I can't really separate the performance aspect of it from the content. Romney delivered his lines in a weird, unnatural tone of voice with an awkward lilt. Romney seemed distant and cold, while Ryan seemed warm, natural and likable. As Kudlow says, as the Presidential candidate it was Romney that had to make the sale, and from what I'm hearing, his was one of the least liked speeches of the week.
