Sanatorium was, well, Santorum.

Artur Davis is knocking it out if the park ATM.

Going to try to stay up for Christie.

Did MSNBC even show Davis speak?

Actually, I am listening on NPR since I don't have to put up with the dumb commentary from the Hannitys and the Matthews. Don't know if MSNBC didn't show it but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they didn't.

Ann Romney........... :?

I expected more.......she just seems kind of ditzy, unprepared and disingenuous. I feel like I'm watching a 60 year old cheerleader. Kinda shocked actually.

I was watching MSNBC to see what they had to say about Santorum's speech but I could only take so much of their commentary so I kind of tuned it out and I don't think they ever showed Davis. I caught the last bit on Fox News, I should probably just watch CSPAN.

She's a Stepford wife, like all Mormon women.

Christie.......cripes, what a GOP star! Talk about a speaker. :shock:

He should be a shoe-in in 2016.......it's his choice. I would suggest watching the old weight and cholesterol though. ;)

Early call on 2016........Hildabeast vs. The BEAST. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Too bad Christie isn't the one accepting the nomination, he was the perfect choice to go up against Obama.

I doubt anyone at either convention will top that speech, it was fantastic. What the donks don't get is that he connects with people, his message is on point and he comes across as believable and real.

Highlight of the night:
GOP attendee ejected for throwing nuts at African American CNN camera woman + saying "This is how we feed animals."

Thought Christie would be throwing a whole lot more red meat. Still a pretty good speech by tackling the big problems with big ideas, but definitely not his best I've heard from him. He can do much better. Ann Romney's speech was clearly the best to me. She portrayed all the qualities that I've heard about her. She seemed very genuine, looked completely comfortable, very cool under pressure.
