Apparently “you people” would rather watch paint dry than watch Lady Romney’s speech

NY Times: At 10:30 on Monday night, Ann Romney is scheduled to take the stage at the Republican National Convention, in Act 1 of her husband’s four-day introduction to the nation. But tens of millions of people will not be able to watch. CBS plans instead to show a rerun of “Hawaii Five-O,” its hit police series. Viewers of NBC will see a new episode of “Grimm,” about a homicide detective with the supernatural ability to sense evil. And ABC plans to show “Castle,” a series about a best-selling mystery novelist who helps solve crimes.

At one time she was the only positive spokesman Romney had in his stable. "You people" comments are not bound to help especially when they are a matter of record. Too bad Seamus is not available playing fetch the ball would have been a real boost for Mitt's image.

Sounded like she will speak same night as Christie! Maybe the subject of your OP is the reason why it's been moved.

I want to hear her....keeping my enemy closer sort of reasoning!

edit: spelling...sticky key that's driving me nuts!

Watching paint dry (and sniffing the fumes) only destroys a few of my brain cells.
