It is time for a major purge of this party after this election!! I’ve had enough of the GOPe crap and so have millions of us.

Its already under way aka The Tea Party,they now own the GOP,the RNC just has not been notified!!

Pawlenty is coming across pretty good. He’s taking it to Obama.

He should have shown this side of himself during his short run in the primaries.

What is the yelling in the background? Is it just me or do we have some mockers in the crowd?

Mr. Rogers could dish out more red meat than Pawlenty.

The base is falling asleep.

I wish that was true. But after what Boehner and Sunnunu pulled on us yesterday with the Rules Committee, they own us.

We’ve had Mia, Kelly, Nicky, Anne, Chris, Cruz and more good speakers to come.

Christie threw some out there last night, Pawlenty sux but his line about Obama’s going away party was funny.

Don’t watch it if you don’t like it. I really would have liked have seen Herman and Sarah et al, but it’s not happening.

Let’s work to get them on the stage next time. Just look how far we’ve come in two years of the Tea Party.

Have a fine evening.

I was wondering that too. Seems like it might be some feedback or a hot mic somewhere.

Good jab from Pawlenty. But--loved Rubio's response when Hannity asked him what he thought about former Gov. Christ.

Without missing a beat, Rubio quipped: "He's running out of parties to run under."

You make a great point. Its a stretch to think that a huge audience will wait until 10 eastern to get a dynamic speaker. Really poor scheduling. But no time for Palin,really sad.
