maybe Im biased or been around the block but, it was just a speech???

[LSK]

Nothing that overwhelmed me in presentation or anything.

[JBoy]

1. He was talking to the home team.

Full of bullshit, but the crowd ate it up.

[elleng]

2. Only 'overwhelming' in comparison with the other speeches.

[nc4bo]

3. My rage meter hit the "Pants On Fire" level nonstop.

Now one more big turd to wade through and it's done.

[MADem]

4. It was the VERY BEST SPEECH

they have seen in Tampa to this point...but still, that's not saying much if anything.

I didn't find it to be a barn burner, either. It looked like Eddie Munster was getting a bit "tantrummy" because he was up past his bedtime.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

5. No, it was a performance for the base, and they loved it.

MSNBC is dissecting it right now, and the verdict is that it was free of substance, contained some lies, but was delivered like a pro.

[LSK]

6. yeah but they need this convention to sway independents

This speech will be forgotten in a week. Nothing that goes down in history.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

8. At SOME point, they're gonna have to start talking SUBSTANCE.

"We're going to create 12 million jobs in the next 4 years."

Really? How? TELL me. Come on, TELL me.

He got those words out of his mouth and moved on FAST, before he had to explain himself. There will be SOME independents who are swayed by bright shiny objects waved in front of their nose, but my guess is that most will be more inquisitive than that.

7. It will fade like the morning dew.

Tomorrow morning the country will wake up with a hangover wondering who that cute guy was and why he told those lies.

[slor]

9. He sucked...

I really do not find him an effective speaker. I will not even begin to discuss his lies, but there were plenty.
