Official Republican National Convention 2012 Discussion Thread

[Ashley Biden's Diary]

Had to check in to say Christie=total disgrace. He's obviously going for a repeat of Obama's propulsion to superstardom through a convention speech. He didn't say a damn thing about Romney personally, it was all about introducing himself and his story officially on a national level. On and on and on about his record in NJ, didn't someone know this disgrace was coming? Since Romney is looking like a lost cause, I can't wait for Hillary to destroy this waste of space next time around.

If anything, it was more like Cuomo's '84 keynote (though Cuomo's is one of the greatest speeches of all time, this is not). He barely mentioned the actual candidate, but instead threw in some red meat for the base to eat up. Chrisite did quite well. He's certainly on the path for 2016.

It was nothing but more vague rhetoric, where were the specific attacks? Where was the substance? Where were the issues? We got some references to debt, and a bunch of self promotion about teachers.

Ryan's speech was beautiful and inspiring on so many levels. Really makes it clear which is the adult party and which is the one living in a fantasy land of unicorns and rainbows.
