Wow. Cruz just knocked it out of the park. He is an excellent communicator and will be a great Senator.

Agreed. That was the first time I’ve seen him speak, and I was very impressed. I thought Artur Davis and Gov. Kasich were very good, too.

Charlie Crist—just another white guy in the Democrat party.
Arthur Davis—a new African-American man in the Republican party.

Who is the “white bigot” party now? Minorities are figuring out the Democrat trick…the Democrat’s party’s days are numbered….they will LOSE THIS NOVEMBER 2012!

Ann Romney is speaking very well. She’s fulfilling her mission so far: showing that Mitt Romney is not this terrible, evil, non-understanding Americans that liberals want to portray him as. ANN ROMNEY-FIRST LADY 2012!

Ann Romney was a little giggly, which at times was a little awkward. But overall she came across as personable, sincere, and like an average American wife and mother (she showed a bit of toughness, too ). She did not appear elitist or out-of-touch to me at all.

What strikes me when I hear these speeches is how many of the GOP speakers are either children or grandchildren of hard-working immigrants. Many of whom worked hard to build businesses or put themselves through school. They are not of the so-called 1% that the Democrats would like you to think they are. They are a part of what has made this country great.

The irony is that I would venture to bet that most of the DNC speakers come from a more privileged background than most of the GOP speakers.

Christie’s speech was great. I wish he was more conservative in several areas, but he is a great communicator. I respect him for being who he is and for having the courage to be blunt and truthful when needed.

I only hope that the Chick-Fil-A support day will look mild in comparison.

snark.

Al Gore: “I fear Romney-Ryan…” Anything that gives the heebie jeebies to Al Gore, I’m all for.

I noticed that too, runner. About the immigrants, that is.

Had no clue about Ann Romney’s background. Britt Hume said he thought her speech was the “single most effective political speech I’ve ever heard given by a political wife.” As for me, it is always refreshing to hear a woman speak about how much she loves her husband and her family. I appreciated that she sounded a little nervous but pushed through to give a great speech.

Was glad to see Santorum bring out the defibrillators. No one connects with a crowd like an 11 life path. They have infnite charisma and natural abilities to woo and connect with large audiences. Obama, Reagan, Clinton, Gore, JFK, McCain, Paul Ryan all 11s. But when things don’t go their way they get insecure and start losing it. Ex: Obama right now. They are also extremely emotional and thus often let their emotions control them and their actions, not logic which is why many, not all tend to be more liberal. You need not be an 11 to give a good speech, but these are the people that bring tears to peoples eyes and cause them to erupt with joy on the inside and often go down in history as inspirational figures throughout the world.
