This does not take into consideration the death of MSM. People will not watch the DNC either—and that is where twitter feed, and a host of other exposures may come in. All money related, and ground pounding to the polls on Election Day. Conservative activists get to work- make it happen. About which see Ralph Reed and the number of evangelicals and Catholics who did not vote at all in 2008. There is a very large gap of people being missed in this “non viewing” number.

I might record the DNC only for historical purposes, like I saved the Fox channel live broadcast of 9/11 and the live on TV crash of the jet into the second tower, I had that saved for over a year on my DVR.

Who knows what kind of extreme debacle it may turn into.

I think the Lord held up his finger in warning by sending Isaac, for the DNC he may send a different message.

There’s no point in watching when you’ve already made your decision. A clear vote against Zero = why bother to watch some long boring speeches.

It wasn’t the GOP. It was several prior leaders of the GOP.You are part of the GOP and you didn’t like what happened, so it wasn’t ALL of us.

The “GOP” changes leaders and candidates on a regular basis. If someone is dissatisfied with what the “GOP” did in one election, having nothing to do with the “GOP” in the next election makes no sense since the dorks in the prior election are more likely not there anymore.

Brilliant strategy!

Pick the guy who couldn't beat the guy who LOST LAST YEAR.

And be SURE to put the more popular nom in the #2 slot!

Who's ruinning the RNC? Alfred Einstoned?

Did you just get off the turnip truck? I was not talking about the GOP’ers on the street like you and I but the powers that be(what is now called the GOP-e) that hung her out to dry and did not lift a finger to help her.

Some of those of course were Romney aides that worked on her VP staff. The MSM helped take her down like a wounded zebra and the Dumbo’s saw the threat she represended for 2012.

I know what you mean, I haven’t watched any of the convention either.

As far as I am concerned my 42 years as a faithful Repub. are over as it will never be a guaranteed vote any more.

That’s no surprise Palin was largely unknown so there was a curiosity factor there

Exactly. She was announced as the VP selection only a few days before the convention, right? So, she was still a novelty, especially being only the second-even female VP candidate on a major party ticket, and the first for the GOP.

Ryan was announced a couple of weeks ago, and he was more well-known to start with.

They wouldn’t have been for much longer the way McCain was running his campaign. They would have been floored regardless.
