[ConservativeInPA]

I love Nikki Haley - she has balls.

Like peaches ... I might have my body parts mixed up though

[onyx]

YOU do it!

google will pick it up tonight!

[weston]

Woops, my bad...not Ann yet.

[onemiddleamerican]

I understand completely. I can, with good conscience, vote for Paul Ryan; and will fervently pray that Romney will focus on getting the fiscal job done without all the RINO GOPe patronage crap that always hurts us.

[Eric Blair 2084]

I understand what you mean. TelePrompTers are not real.

[advertising guy]

f you bitch

[onyx]

Send the info to Drudge!

[bigbob]

Forget CNN and FNC too for that matter...As soon as O’Bloviator cut off the machine shop owner in NH with some silly BS and went back to that idiot Alan Colmes, I switched to PBS. Great coverage on PBS as much as it must pain them to do so...

[RightField]

Wouldn’t it be funny if he was the surprise Thursday night speaker? (Artur Davis)

I don't think he is. Davis is listed as a speaker on the RNC Revised Schedule of Events.

[GoCards]

did Ann curtsy? I love it

[KansasGirl]

Okay, here’s Ann Romney.

Huge applause from crowd.

[Miss Didi]

I love her—she’s adorable!

[onyx]

Ann Romney!

[SE Mom]

That was adorable...very spontaneous.

[weston]

Go Ann!!

Hit it out of the park!

[P.O.E.]

Ann Romney starting off with class!

Moment to pray for those in Isaac’s path, and for the first responders, etc.

[penelopesire]

What a breath of fresh air just walked onstage. She would be such a great first lady...so much better than moochelle.

She seems so genuine.

[bigbob]

I really admire Ann Romney. She has class, humility, brains, and beauty in one package and will be a great First Lady (it’s been a while since we could use that term without wincing).

[BIGLOOK]

So far all of the speakers are having a grand ol' time shaking the tree......with the same theme.
