I've been listening to the convention speeches on the radio, and I have to ask: Is this it?
The response from the crowd seems pretty tepid for prime time convention night. He has had people come up and testify what a great guy he is, which a couple stories were touching. But, the gist of the stories were really like, "No, he's not a robot." The rest of the speeches were pretty lame, I think. He had the CEO of Staples give what sounded like a PowerPoint presentation about how Mitt made a success of Staples. He didn't mention the ones that were driven out of business.
Now he is tooting his Olympics horn and the crowd is yelling USA! USA! USA! USA! He had JEB give a speech, which, after hearing it, I am not so worried about him running for president one day. JEB did say that his brother kept us safe. Now, the Olympics people and others have brought up 9/11four times. I guess they get to use it when they want to and ignore it when they don't. Now, I notice that had a black woman and a Mexican give speeches. That's nice.
Seriously, they haven't been throwing out lies like Ryan did, but that has left them very little to say about Romney, except more people saying what a business leader he is. One of them called him superhuman. Maybe Romney will liven things up when he gives his speech.
Now, Ann is talking about her multiple sclerosis. That's great. I feel for her. What about the people who are just as sick and will get their insurance or hope for insurance yanked from them if Romney wins?
Now, there is the gauzy piece with all of the heart-touching fluff. I don't think it will energize the base because they want red meat.
