huh?

he’s great.he’s just different than a woman.we need both.

[TonyInOhio]

What a d%$#ch@bag. After Anne’s speech, total letdown.

Put the hooka down, man - you've had too much.

[Girlene]

She needs to get out there....she could easily turn this election around!

I think she did that tonight!

Christie talking about NJ and all the things that were acoomplished that everyone said could not be done. NJ voters rewarded politicans who led vs. those who pandered.

[Miss Didi]

Yes and she is still scowling.

[onyx]

You see....We are THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Yes, we are!

"The Marxist is one and done"

[penelopesire]

Christie laying it out...

Tough love for the masses.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

said very well.

[advertising guy]

you use your tongue for toilet paper huh

[weston]

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

I agree with the posters who have said she would be the best speaker of all the first ladies in my lifetime. She has the “wow” factor_

[rodguy911]

She needs to replace that thing in the WH.

SHE WILL!!!

[grasshopper2]

“Our seniors are NOT selfish” - Chris christie

[peggybac]

Our seniors are not...??? Glitch in my cable. What did he say?

[Clint N. Suhks]

It’s just so funny watch the hypocrite purists who said they would never vote for Mittens and cheered as the Romney pragmatists being zotted are now gushing.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Wow...he’s telling the truth...taking truth to power!(old lib saying)

[Miss Didi]

Selfish.

[mojo114]

CHRIS CHRISTIE IS DOING GREAT!!

Me too Defconw hubby well I hope.

[Bronzy]

Why is Ann Romney just sitting there not being enthusiastic?

[rodguy911]

For sure, the great thing about Ann is you really can’t give a speech like that from the heart if you don’t believe it,she does.

[southernnorthcarolina]

The swirling clouds behind Christie are giving me vertigo!

You beat me to it. I was about to say the same thing. Why have a moving background, detracting from the speaker?

I need to back away from the TV, I guess -- I'm feeling seasick.

[P.O.E.]

“Teachers don’t teach to become rich and famous. They teach because they love children”

“They believe in teachers unions. We believe in teachers”

Yay!
