Please check out the somewhat ...erratic comments.

Not quite a n00b, but yet, not yet attained to being a stripling yet, either.

Cheers!

She’s doing great! I like her. She’s running against Matheson and is down in the polls.

…and who were the Maine delegates representing???

You mean that the Ron Paul delegates are walking out, don’t you?


PBS reporter said 'Maine delegation' walked out. He didn't specify that it was only the Ron Paul delegates.

We at Free Republic don’t but the county needs to hear the meaty stuff. This country is in a precarious position.

What I am hearing is absolute sophistry.

Who's that young lady with the light hair and the black suit who announces the tally for each state?

She's lovely!

Pics, please? I'm tied to the Mac and can't see my TV...

Cheers!

The reports are that the Ron Paulers walked out. Some are calling the Ron Paulers the grass roots delegates in an effort to cloud to the issue, but this is a battle between the Paultards and the GOP.

We have seen it at every state convention in WA state for the past three years. We have actually thrown the Libertarian out of the convention before they could walk out.

Foxnews.com is streaming...I’m sitting here with Mac and split screen to watch and FReep.

Good speeches so far, let’s get rid of obozo now and we’ll deal with Mitt later. Paul will help him stick to it I’m sure.

I noticed Minnesota was 1 delegate for Romney and the rest for Paul.

I haven't been impressed with speeches from Bohner on but seems to be speeches about business starters. Guess Obama gave us a speaking point.

"@Mattyglesias Mia Love is sure to deliver the Haitian-American Mormon vote for Romney." -tweet from lefty Matt Yglesias

This is exactly how leftists think,, in terms of ethnic Bantustans. .

No you won't. You'll roll over and pee your pants in 2016 just like you did in 2012.

Limbaugh is pissing me off with all his negativity lately. The first day of the convention and nothing positive from Rush. He could care less if Romney wins and he cost the GOP the election with his Sandra Fluke comment. That is precisely when the momentum shifted back toward Obama. He cost us the WH in 2008 with his personal dislike of Mccain and he’s done it again this election. Hannity is just as bad right now as I listen to him. What has happened to the once proud Republican Party?

GET A GRIP!
