Romney seems to have found his voice. A really fine speech.

Even the part about the oceans rising? Lenore Romney would spank him for that.

Disagree. Condi Rice gave a fine speech (with no teleprompter). Mittsie exceeded expectations by not putting everybody to sleep.

Condi did give a good speech, even had a some content. Very very good. What I meant about Romney is I saw a sure footedness I’ve never seen before. He ‘won’ his primary debates, but of course htat was against the Keystone Kops. After last night, I think he’ll give Obama a run in their debates.
That ‘oceans rising’ line – I read that as mockery. If others heard it that way, that’s a powerful weapon.

Eastwood! I wish he could have been spared that. I don’t like to see our grand old men end up looking like confused addled old men. Weird as hell.

I just noticed that the courts have reinstated 3 early voting days in Ohio that had been taken away. While it is a good move, I am confounded why national elections should be governed by state laws which vary widely. Certainly this a federal issue if ever there was one.

The entire electoral system is fucked up Ed . . . and that’s a good question. Never occurred to me, but now that you mention it . . .

Client did look his aged didn’t he.
At the same time, I think he was trying to make Mitt’s main point: We don’t think he’s doing the job; when you don’t do the job you get let go.
Obama is mostly left trying to convince that Romney is to risky.
I buy Obama’s argument, but I’m really not enthusiastic about this election.

Isn’t it odd bruce,, that both sides feel somewhat the same about their candidates? They’ll vote, they’ll support with money and time, but they’re not really enthused. (although after the last two nights of the Dem convention, I’m beginning to think I’m wrong on that – lots of enthusiasm in Charlotte anyway!
