[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Last night's speakers were definitely better.

Who's getting sick of this class warfare garbage?

Who's getting sick of this class warfare garbage?

I'm in Canada now, and yesterday morning I listened to a CBC radio interview with one of the delegates in Tampa, who began with the "Obama believes in class warfare" rhetoric, but then started talking derisively about "the political class" and "the activist class."  So, I guess it's just about getting in on the right fight.

Portman seemed to have sour grapes over not being picked for VP.

I think that was just a Romneyesque joke. He seemed to give a strong endorsement. He was better than expected. I think we see why Romney chose Ryan though.

Last night's speakers were definitely better.

Agreed, so far. Mia love and Davis were much stronger early presenters. They were both excellent.

[Likely Voter]

i think Pawlenty should try to live up to his movie trailer videos. He should drop into the stage on a wire ala Mission Impossible.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Did Tim Pawlenty hire 'Hee Haw' to write his jokes?

[Phony Moderate]

This speech would be bringing the house down if he had even an ounce of charisma.

[Phony Moderate]

Why no mention of "Obamneycare", Tim?

[Lincoln Republican]

Well, Pawlenty is hardly a barn burner, that's for sure.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

The PBS snippet of Huckabee speaking makes me wonder why he didn't run.

[Likely Voter]

So far Huck is sticking to the party line. But I am betting he will make some mention of how the party needs to support ALL their senatorial candidates.

[Phony Moderate]

It's really quite something to hear Huckabee talk about liberty and fiscal responsibility.

[5280]

Huck should be a teacher for an economics class.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Huckabee might have some crazy views but he's a great speaker.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Huck should be a teacher for an economics class.

not sure if trolling

Let's talk about social issues, now.

[Supersonic]

I love Huckabee's self depreciating humour.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

What's with the random Biden targeting tonight?

[Vosem]

Did they really just play a clip of "We Built This City"?

Didn't Winfield predict Romney would use "We Built This City" as a campaign song?

Chances of Romney winning California 52-48 just skyrocketed.

Let's talk about social issues, now.

Huck's too classy for that. I hope.

I love Huckabee's self depreciating humour.

Had he ran, he would've been a successful anti-Romney.

Serious or sarcastic? What did he say?

[J. J.]

Huckabee might have some crazy views but he's a great speaker.

Agreed.  He's making a play for any Evangelicals that are wavering about a Mormon.  Not to mention Bono fans.  

It thought both Portman and Pawlenty did well in the red meat department.  They are revving up the crowd.

[5280]

They should get some different kind of music for the RNC, nothing against what they offer.  3 Doors Down was great.  They could try something different and use some smooth jazz or upbeat like Electronica.

[Likely Voter]

Well Mike didnt go rogue, alas. Unless of course you consider accusing the President of infanticide as rogue, but most probably didn't notice that bit.

[Supersonic]

Wow, massive cheer for Condi!
