in 2008. She was good at lying and attacking in a speech too. We all know how well that turned out.

I remember "I can see Russia from my house". I remember leaks about how hopeless she was in debate coaching sessions.

She was announced on August 29 and spoke at the convention on September 3. Her first TV interview (the Charlie Gibson one) wasn't until a week later.

Her speech got some "rave" reviews in the media as well.

Yes, never underestimate them. But don't overestimate them either. He's been at it for almost 3 weeks now and has yet to really help the ticket.

He struggles because he can't really think for himself.

just like the media gave Ann Romney rave reviews and they will give Mitt Romney rave reviews.

Hell, Sarah Palin got rave reviews.

I think they are all getting raves but Christie..nature of the beast. And then we will get raves at ours. They are very written speeches. America hopefully will look at records.

I could take a shower, put on a suit and deliver a speech better than that guy just did if you handed me the thing while I was drying off.

Tweets from David Corn, Julian Epstein, Politicususa, David Axelrod, Lawrence O'Donnell, Joe Conason, Richard Wolffe, and LOLGOP

No raves in any of those tweets.

She at least brought some kind of entertainment. Paul Ryan is just boring. Tweety called it a canned political advertisement. Ha...like a robot. Ryan is just as robotic as Romney.
