TH, it appears the mystery guest will be TONIGHT. I thought that person was replacing Jindal last night. And word is, it is Eastwood. At least thats what the twatterz and teh bookfaces are saying.
Huckabee's speech was suprisingly good. Especially the piece about not caring what religion Mitt Romney practices but caring more about what direction he takes the country. I thought that was a good line for him. Pawlenty - boring as usual although he did have some good zingers.
Condi - wow. Did I say I didn't want her to speak? So....she didn't really channel Bush in her speech. But instead talked about succeeding as a poor black girl growing up in Central Alabama, despite all odds. Her speech seemed heartfelt and I admire her story. Susana Martinez had very much the same story but from a Latino point of view with her parents coming from Mexico. Good stories.
Paul Ryan - knocked it out of the park IMHO. He aimed right at Obama and the economy, hard numbers and all. While also remaining personable and likable. I liked the angle with his mother still being his role model. I thought that was a good moment.
Yes, I saw that too; thought that the special guest was last night. I'm actually hoping it's not Clint Eastwood; he's a little too liberal for my enthusiasm.
Paul Ryan was terrific! What else can we say; he took the political fight right to the Dems without having an "angry" attitude. I'm more enthusiastic than ever about him. I too really appreciated the tact that he took regarding his Mom; what a great story. I was standing-up cheering at the tv last night as if I was watching a college hoops game. I am very proud to have him on our ticket.
Condi was amazing, you Alabamians really have someone who you should be damn proud of in her! Between her and Paul Ryan they were the smartest two people in the room last night.
Gov. Martinez, Gov. Fortuno, Sen. Rand Paul, and, yes, reluctantly Mike Huckabee were ALL outstanding too. They all make me proud to be an unapologetic, card-carrying Republican!
