I get the sense Ryan’s speech may have actually won over new voters.

Exactly. They are trying to swing independents as well as the base.

Both were wonderful speeches. In 2008 I only voted for McCain because of Sarah Palin, her speech was amazing. Ryan’s speech tonight was equally as amazing. When I read some comparing one to another it doesn’t make sense, there is no competition here, only ONE goal, and hopefully Ryan’s speech brought in new independent voters, I really hope so..the more the better

Ryan has the very real potential to save this country. I am having the same gut instinct watching him as I did as a youth watching Reagan.

He is the real deal.

I also heard Nancy Regan was seen boarding a plane. I wish it would be Tebow but the RNC would think he’s too extreme. You know, advocating saving the unborn and openly expressing his love and devotion to Jesus. Geesh.

I would watch it, DVR it and watch it over and over and over again. The last time I tuned in to MSDNC was when we took the house in 2010, just to watch them have a gigantic tantrum, it was awesome..but having Obama lose, their messiah, their progressive utopian society dreams go down the drain, would just be EPIC

Did you see Danny Gokey tonight? Too bad Carrie Underwood wouldn’t sing - can you just imagine her lefty fans if she were to do that?

Imagine if Mitt had the same success picking the rest of his administration?

Hopefully he will. Wonder if Condi will be asked to be a member of his team. Mark Steyn for Press Secretary!

This is where the Dems are terrified of Ryan. They know he can make inroads with a younger generation. If the GOP can just shift a portion of that youth and young adult vote away from Obama, Obama will not be able to win.

Ryan is a totally different demographic for the GOP that we have not had. Ryan isn’t a tired grey haired guy that the “hip” other side can mock.

The liberal media is dying a slow death... we have to go after the real problem next... the lefty professors indoctrinating young minds on campuses all over the country. The media, the lefty profs and voter fraud has been keeping the Dems afloat far too long.

Even James Carville said Ryan’s speech makes him nervous.

Wow! Did he really say that? Did he qualify it or just have one of those honest moments?

"Imagine if Mitt had the same success picking the rest of his administration?"

You can also bet that the finest, smartest, most successful businesspeeples in this country who are looking for a few years of new challenges will be flocking TO Mitt Romney with offers to serve and assist in his administration....he will barely have to ask them if he needs them to fill specialized appointment slots.

Success flocks to success.
