What Did You Think Of Mitt Romney's Acceptance Speech?
It was great
It was good but not great
It was OK
It wasn't very good
It was terrible
It was much better than I thought it was going to be.
Nailed it. r and R !
FUBO!!!!
It was a good speech. At least Romney spoke with more passion than McCain did during his acceptance speech
It was great—it did what it had to do. Now the GOP can unite and do battle with the Democrats—I think the full armor of God has been put on and the sword of truth drawn. This will be a fight that needs to be won. What Mitt started tonight was nothing short of a Crusade. Maybe Joseph Smith was right when he said a Mormon President would someday save the nation. If Mitt can do it—bring back jobs and prosperity he should have his face carved on mountain sides! Dang, he looked like a president.
I couldn’t watch it. I’m all but certain to vote for Mittens and figure the less I see of him before election day, the easier it’ll be for me to pull the lever.
Chris Matthews is feeling a tinkle, this time going down his leg.
He did well
B-. The guy is just too too precious. He tilts his head just so, his eyes sparkle his teeth gleam. He just creeps me out.
I don’t like him. If that offends you tough.
Exceeded my expectations. On a scale of 0 to 10, I give it an 8.5 or 9.0. It was REALLY good in places, Okay in others, sub par in others.
Overall delivery was good. Some of the tough parts seemed “forced” almost angry. I didn’t really mind it, but it didn’t fit with the rest of it.
Overall, quite good.
Great speech, he is a winner.
I would like to have seen a more pointed attack. I think he has it in him, but their plan anticipates the Democrats convention next week, and perhaps the thought was to hold off on some attacks until after the Democrats decamp their convention, so they will not have the specific convention megaphone to effect a response.
DREAMS OF OBAMA’S NIGHTMERE VS. ROMNEY’S REAL AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM. nuff said.
Best coherent speech since Reagan.
Was this the moment that the oceans started to rise again?
money was GREAT tonight.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Get used to eight years of being creeped out.
It was heart felt, honest, and upbeat. I think he's an honest and upfront man, but I'm not in favor of his overall politics. Yet he's ages above what's in office today. We have no choice. It's time to come to grips with that. Either/Or.
You nailed it. That was my first thought when the speech ended. This time, I feel like the (R) running for president really wants to win. McCain made me feel like he didn’t care whether he won or lost.
