I don’t know about others here, but I think Chris Christie is doing a terrific job in his speech. (I’m a little partial to Italians - even if it’s only 50% - LOL.)

50%! Coulda fooled me!...lol.

I agree. He's delivering an excellent speech! Just listen to the reception he's getting!!!!

[tapatio]

Our seniors are not...??? Glitch in my cable. What did he say?

Selfish.

[MaxMax]

Christie: They believe in Teachers Unions, We believe in Teachers.

“They believe in teacher’s unions, we believe in teachers” Chris Christie

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

[Girlene]

Christie’s getting to a bit of the bashing. He’s using the

We believe....yada, yada, yada.

They believe ....bad yada, bad yada, bad yada.

ie.
They believe in teachers’ unions.
We believe in teachers.

(Right on, righton.)

[peggybac]

Thanks.

Its about time,I wonder what the problem was?

[MagUSNRET]

Boy did you hit the nail on the head!

[penelopesire]

I did not see that at all. She is watching intently.

These are serious times for our country. Christie’s message is pretty serious business.

[arasina]

Now Christie’s speaking. What a d%$#ch@bag. After Anne’s speech, total letdown.

You don't recognize his talent and patriotism. L-i-s-t-e-n to what he says.

[defconw]

Chris is good! Not seeing the knock out yet.

[rodguy911]

must be.

[Miss Didi]

Ann’s Facebook page is getting more and more likes by the minute. :)

[rwfromkansas]

It’s decent but nothing like Ann’s. Just boilerplate rhetoric. Ann’s was great because it was from the heart.

Schieffer said he would have big shoes to fill after her speech. He didn’t fill them needless to say...lol.

Yes Condi Rice is sitting next to the Romney’s
Condi finally smiled in the last camera shot.
