I too am absolutely impressed with Mrs. Romney.

I never expected her speech to be so incredible, but that’s only because so many have tried to destroy that family.

I hope Ryan will be able to be enough influence on Romney to keep the RINO GOPe thing under control. But after what I saw this afternoon at the convention, I’m fretting a bit. Things may be out of Ryan’s control.

The dice have been rolled, Romney’s the nominee, and now we have to hope we can get him into the WH. Obama’s MUCH more dangerous.

When I say it was Palinesque, that is high praise. But from now on, the standard of comparison may be “Ann Romney-esque”.

Bob Scheiffer’s reaction....WOW...THAT WAS A SPEECH. That was one heck of a speech.

Anyone with even a sliver of integrity would have to agree.

Which, of course, means the hacks at NBC will pan it as being just what Mitt did not need.

Head and shoulders above any First lady in my lifetime. And I am 60. And yes I am counting my chickens before they hatch.

Ann is crazy good!!! I hope we get to hear a lot more from her.

She's eclipsed the critics and connected to the people of the our great nation.

Electrifying!!!!
