“...most Americans heard Mr. Eastwood loud and clear.”

That’s the problem - they remember Clint - “Oh, did Romney say something, too?”

Nice try, sweetie. What do you and napscorp....whatever her/his user name is get together and brain storm all these opinions you post. You both say the exact same thing in most threads. But guess what? Since you can't stand Romney why do you care if anyone heard his speech?

PS.
The crowds showing up where he speaks since the convention are big and enthusiastic.

Who ever remembers much of what any candidate says in those convention speeches? Those speeches are all really just a measure of only one thing: Is this guy going to crack under pressure? Beyond that, even the best speeches are unremarkable, because they’re all 95% fluff rhetoric anyway (...our best days ahead...get the country moving...back on track...stay the course...time for change...more jobs...less deficit...strong defense...).

I’ve watched every single convention since 1980. I vaguely recall some of the 2008 GOP convention, only because it’s still fairly recent and because of Palin. Go beyond that, and I can’t recall much of any of the rest, unless it was really bad (e.g., my hero Jack Kemp’s speech in 1996).

I have a much better recollection of the debates, however.

This election is not about Romney, it’s all about OBAMA.
