We were shut out by Boehner and Sunnunu.

Was just going to post the same comment. He says the words fine, but there’s nothing there. Cardboard cutout of a politician, I’m waiting for the real deal - Paul Ryan.

I think the whole convention got a dose of Ambien in their water, an hour ago. My livestock makes more noise than they do.

Damned if you

The media will portray them as partying while the poor Isaac victims are suffering

I think an accountant-type (although I don’t think that’s what Ryan is) is exactly what people want to see. And adult who can do the math, and make grown-up decisions.

An accountant type like Ryan who seems to understand how the free market works best without government intervention. Yes, we need a bunch of people like that.

I've seen Ryan speak. He knows his stuff. But he's not what I would call "charismatic." We need speakers who know their stuff, but to energize the stay-at-home Republicans and influence the swing votes, we also need some charisma.

Thank God Romney didn't pick Portman. He's making good points, but doesn't have any "spark".

Hopefully Ryan will! (And hope you can hold out to hear him!:)

Romney chose well with Paul Ryan. Had Romney gone with conventional wisdom and chose somebody “safe” like Portman or Pawlenty, it would have made for a lackluster, lifeless ticket. Nice guys but you all know the old saying about where nice guys finish.

“I haven’t seen nearly enough people pissed off, demanding change”

hate to break this to you...
This convention is so NOT about YOU!

It is for the ONLY 5% OF VOTERS THAT ARE INDEPEDENTS OR SWING VOTERS!
They don’t want “pissed off people”..they aren’t angry,they are sad that they voted for Obama and they are very very pragmatic..they just want to see people who can “fix” the economy. You can’t “yell” them into voting for Romney.

Romney chose well with Paul Ryan.

Exactly, Paul Ryan stands for something and he has the ability to express it. We'll see that tonight.
