Naw, Eva Longoria.

That's a good choice.

 

[HylianTom]

I expect polls after today to show Romney around 48-49 and Obama at 45-46

Also, I am not sure how Eastwood's speech will play with the viewers. People (White swing voters) may like the unscripted shit.

That might be Romney's high water mark for the year. Obama will get a small bump from his speech to re-set the numbers back to where they were, and then the debates wll be Romney's last chance.

 

[ErasureAcer]

GAF needs to sue the RNC. They stole "BELIEVE." Bastards!

 

[Kosmo]

DAT Rubio. Dude is killing it.

 

[Gruco]

Polling until the DNC is going to drive me crazy, even though this is all more or less expected.

I'm actually a little surpised that a bump is showing already, given that the main speeches before tonight have been either insulting demographic pandering, ignoring the top to the ticket in order to showboat for future elections, or setting a new standard for flipping out fact checkers.

 

[RDreamer]

DAT Rubio. Dude is killing it.

He's a good speaker. It's too bad nothing's coming out of his mouth but bullshit.

Too bad no one will remember thanks to Clint's self-destruction on stage.

Did I just see a terrorist fist bump???

Romney to government

 

[codhand]

Rubio's speech was like Obama 04 lite.

Also, bland, and inoffensive.

 

[(._.)]

what just happened? was some guy just escorted out?

 

[apana]

This is a good speech so far.

 

[Chumly]

I like how Romney pretends that people aren't like him (someone who lines his packets at the expense of others).

 

[StopMakingSense]

@tombrokaw: Clint Eastwood became huge star as a man of few words. As a surprise guest on the Tampa stage he had too many words (I say as a friend)

This is Susana's .357 magnum, and it'll blow your bingo card clean off.

 

[MilesWebber]

What just happened? Who did they throw out? Also Romney is Mexican? Holy shit.

[tranciful]

Curiously many these sentiments aren't mirrored by their policies

 

[Chumly]

Gotta know how to screw people over to be able create jobs.

 

[apana]

Mitt Romney has a very strange delivery. It's like he is trying to force the emotion out of his face.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Weird delivery but the speech is solid. Very emotional, and will resonate with voters

 

[MilesWebber]

You can tell Anne Romney is a robot when she blinks. Sync is off. Pretty solid programming overall, though.

 

[codhand]

You're all over the place, is it weird, solid, or emotional?

 

[gcubed]

So 3 days and I still haven't heard an actual plan.

Edit... Bingo!

 

[eznark]

Good solid speech. I think it goes over a billion times better without the sanctity of marriage horseshit.

Rubio was very, very good.

Clint Eastwood! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa

Stern-faced Romney aides winced at times as Eastwood's remarks stretched on. On a night where virtually every moment was scripted, Eastwood was among the only speakers not reading from a teleprompter as he spoke. It was blank.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Media liking it (I didn't see it)

BuzzFeedBen The thing about Romney: He does deliver. This is the speech he needed to give. Doesn't blow it away, but does what he needs to do.

ZekeJMiller Where has this Romney been all year

hmm, me thinks more people will be talking about the speech from Eastwood than the one from Romney.

 

[Jooney]

The parts of the speech that were about his personal successes and story were great. Couldn't stand the all out pander and posturing at the back end though.

 

[XenodudeX]

Media liking it (I didn't see it)

Of course the fucking media likes it.

 

[gcubed]

Romney didn't suck, hence Clint will be what everyone talks about.

 

[Tamanon]

This Daily Show "Mitt Romney: The Human Being who Built That" short is lethal.

 

[eznark]

Of course the fucking media likes it.

lol

 

[sc0la]

Maybe we were wrong and Clint is completely lucid. Remember when we wondered why he would go support them after they shit on him for the super bowl ad? This is his payback

 

[codhand]

Ball's in your're court DNC

Maybe we were wrong and Clint is completely lucid.

It's strange hearing someone speak about politics without a teleprompter isn't it?

I actually was able to translate Clint, and I think his basic angle that Obama's ego is preventing him from getting anything done was OK, but the whole "every so often someone comes along and begs for our votes"??? Hey, uh, Clint, guess what?

 

[HylianTom]

He did okay, but he needed to knock it out of the park. He needed a big swing in order to move the numbers in all of those swing states.

Minor convention bump, to be negated by the Democrats' convention.

 

[XenodudeX]

"And let me make this very clear – unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class,"

The media better wake up and do it's job. We all know this is bullshit.

 

[Byakuya769]

So how many jobs can the prelude to WWIII create? 12 million?

When the President of the United States asks you to complete a mission for the good of the country...you do it, even if it means yelling at an empty chair on national television.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

I think people here underestimate Romney a bit

 

[apana]

The introduction was really strong and well constructed. It started going back into his usual stuff towards the end.

 

[eznark]

One thing that cannot be denied; that was by far the greatest balloon drop in history. A slow, steady cascade of balloons instead of the instant avalanche.

Fucking brilliant.

 

[ErasureAcer]

He has no plan for anything! Anything he ever has had a plan on he's run away from. Dude is gonna get blown out.

Does a generation know when their shitty? I mean the baby boomers were born from a great generation and turned to shit, I don't know my generation, the newest one seems to be full of entitlement.

What's wrong with my generation?

Boehner is three sheets to the wind.

 

[markatisu]

Speech was not memorable, people still don't know him

The Convention will be most remembered for Eastwood and the fact that every fucking GOP member who spoke apparently should be running for President more than Mitt
