“If we can do this in a blue state with a Republican governor, Washington DC is out of excuses”

[advertising guy]

Clear conscience.

[FourtySeven]

Condi smiled just there.

[matt04]

Heads at MSMNC must be exploding after listening to Ann Romney and Gov. Chris Christie.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

That reminded me of Dan Ackroyd of the Blues Brothers:

“This is America...home of the Four Hundred and Forty Cubic Inch Engine!”

[jennychase]

Christie is boring

[FourtySeven]

I can’t figure out if Mitt is tired or moved or what. He looks tired.

[SE Mom]

Christie: They believe in Teachers Unions, We believe in Teachers.

BEST line I’ve heard...it’s emblematic of the LEFT and the RIGHT.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I watch that too. Not sure it’s legit but so be it.

[Right Brother]

Christie is boring

You're kidding, right?

[MagUSNRET]

[peggybac]

[Bronzy]

I want to see EXCITEMENT!

[arasina]

I think so too!

I think I’ll vote for Ann Romney and Paul Ryan.

Clear conscience.

Indeed. Ann Romney's one of them Mama Grizzlies, isn't she. ;-)

“real leaders don’t follow polls, real leaders change polls”

“Our job tonight is to tell the truth”

[defconw]

Thanks...

[Theodore R.]

All the speakers have been good except for Boehner. I still think Santorum did the best job, showed conviction, the kind unsatisfactorty to Republican primary voters.

[P.O.E.]

“Real leaders don’t listen to polls. Real leaders change polls”

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Why is Ann Romney just sitting there not being enthusiastic?

She's probably all tuckered out from that performance, and the stress leading up to it.
