OK so I caught some of the speeches tonight. Portman and Pawlenty demonstated why they were not picked for VP. When Huckabee was speaking I hit the mute button and caught up on some reading. I thought Condi was sharp and gave a great speech. I was thinking during the speech it might be an opening salvo for 2016 if Romney loses. MAybe Condi plays a more domestic role in the Romney administration. As for Susana MArtinez I had never heard her speak before but I had read an article about her in National Review so I liked what she had to say. She has a very inspiring personal story. As for Paul Ryan I had a high bar and he met it. An excellent speech and you just have to know that after the DNC types trash Ryan they immediately run to their twitter buddies and say ‘oh my god are we really going to let Biden debate this guy’.

"The DNC women will be talking about free condoms, their vaginas and same-sex marriage. So which party is it again that degrades women?"

Eggs-actly!

In fact, I'm already referring to the upcoming DemoRat National Convention as "The Vagina Monologues".

Even James Carville said Ryan’s speech makes him nervous.

BB. Beyond bias. It’s surreal to watch the lunkheads get all swarmy. The smirks are unbecoming. Even David Gregory and Tom Brokaw were swarmy and snarky and clearly biased. It’s not news. It’s a parody of what they accuse Fox of by many degrees.

From a retweet: “Whew boy, if the liberal head exploding happening tonight is a precursor, November 6 will be EPIC.”

Just flipped over to MSNBC for a bit.

Watched just long enough to hear Rev. Al say "They gave great speeches, but they were all lies!"

That's it? That's all you got?

I LOVED Sarah’s speech but it mainly fired up the base.

I get the sense Ryan’s speech may have actually won over new voters.

Both incredible speeches though. Both Reaganesque.

“Romney has the trait of all successful leaders. Build a good team around you. The better Ryan does the better he looks.”

You hit the nail on the head and that why Mitt has been successful in business.

Imagine if Mitt had the same success picking the rest of his administration?
