Yeah, I’m surprised Brit didn’t give Mitt’s speech more credit. The Fox Panel is trying to make it sound like Mitt’s a problem solver, not a speech giver.

And that is what this country needs!

F.Chuck trying to compare Romney to Bob Dole,these drivebys are so pathetic...

They're neck deep in the septic tank for the Marxist.

You know something.

I think Eastwood may have been an Obama plant.

You can hate me for this but I’m with the media on this one thinking it was the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen. He is much smarter than that.

And I fear he stole the buzz from Romney. Will people be talking about Romney’s speech tomorrow or Clint Eastwood?

The GOP is racist simply because they dared to even nominate somebody to run against Obama.

I’m glad Bain has been discussed so much tonight. Makes Mitt look stronger than I thought he was.

Agree.

CNN did a very professional job. Aside from a few snide remarks from James Carville, the reporters and analysts just let the speakers speak and delivered fairly straightforward commentary afterwards.

There’s already an Invisible Obama Chair page on Facebook!

I am going to like that page now. LOL!

I agree-—total ju-jitsu. Take enemy’s strength and use it against him. Just a HEZlL of a speech.

“I am wondering if Boehner is drunk. Something is wrong with him.”

“Did you see him grab for the gavel and miss? LOL!”

Ha! just before that I thought he was going to do a duck and cover when a red ballon came by.

"Now they are claiming Clint used the F word LOL!"

The only F word was; "FORGET".

Eastwood: "And we should not ever forget that.
And when somebody does not do the job,
we got to let them go."

If they do I predict an outbreak of spaghetti western film festivals. With Dirty Harry bonus features.
