Some thought Condi might be angling for Sec. of Education but it sure looks like Jeb wants the job; looks like Romney won't be eliminating the Dept. of Education. /s

GHW wanted to be the "education president" and W gave us "No Child Left Behind." There's clearly a familial theme.

Of those speakers I've seen, the Jeb segment was the first that smacked of tokenism.

LOL! My sentiments exactly. If this doesn’t pick up, I will be sleeping by 10 and will miss Willard’s stemwinder.

The life of the party Grant Bennett now talking.

Probably better to drop the baseline a little bit. We are not going to crescendo from RWR to Romney. Best to do it from Jeb.

Mitt could never follow Reagan. He'd look too small and inconsequential.

They need to lay off the Mormon stuff. Big time mistake.

I’m glad this guy isn’t in prime time.

Best convention speech of all time is right here. Suggest you all bookmark to watch later on.

BTW, I remember that night clearly. I was only 17 years old and still too young to vote. If I remember, the previous speakers were boring as hell so there is still hope for tonight.

3 years ago I was working at a thrift store. I found 20 letters a young man had sent to his parents while serving in VietNam in 1966.They were suppose to be thrown away but I asked and they let me take them home to try to find the owner. It has been 3 years of looking and yesterday I was in contact with the guys wife.After all these years the these letters are finally going home to him. I am so thrilled!

Grant Bennett is telling the story behind the story. Rumors are Mitt has helped many, many people in need but no one knows about it.It’s time the story was told.It will sure help.
