    I was speaking of the crowd, not the speakers.

    I noticed that some of the Democratic speakers last night mentioned the sacrifice of our troops serving in Afghanistan, unlike Romney who failed to mention them in any appreciative way at all, but was willing to bluster on about getting in possibly more wars during his speech.

    Say what you will about the Dems, at least these people seem to like and respect each other and look like they bothered to coordinate this thing. Several RNC speakers seem to either be rooting against Mitt or at best don't care about him. I cam practically see them doing the Kevin Martin smile on the bench.

    According to the folks at Twitter, Michelle Obama’s speech garnered 28,000 tweets a minute — double what Mitt Romney got during the Republican convention last week.

    Not surprised. The Dem ticket retains the "star power" advantage, that's for sure.

    They shouldn't. Beacuase you basically listed in detail the RNC's diversity in one sentence.

    Translation: "I am pissed that Mitt Romney has the charm of a fart and can see the writing on the wall, so let's post cute tweets to distract from the anger inside."

    She did own the stage unlike that Real Housewife of New England twat who embarrassed women and men everywhere with her "speech". I was real life embarrassed watching her try to even "speak."

    powerful message

    how much longer will the fanboys cling to the message of hope and change, before reality sets in?
