Mitt's face will be smacking a giant ball like this on election day.

But that shit look dangerous. A broken neck isn't worth it. I won't watch either. I missed the Daily show last night, so I will watch that instead.

...I'm curious to see how he presents himself. I'm sure he's had coaches try to train him to appear more human. So far, it's failing.

As far as hearing what he has to say? He's been saying the same damned thing for months...nothing. Not a damned thing.

You gotta have three cats raise a puppy!!! It works! I had a pittie that honestly thought he was a cat.

I'm pretty sure it would be easier to teach Mitty how to be a dog than a human, though.

but I kinda think I pretty much already know what the contents of the speech will be

'I was born a poor, black child...
Obama bad
family values,
assorted lies
we built it
Obama bad
more lies
God
Liberty
random lies
Obama bad
unnecessary trivial lies, but helps to keep in practice
America is a great country
reminds me of the time
Obama bad
various vague remarks that nobody can quite comprehend what he means

then someone will present him with a laurel .. and hearty handshake

I'll watch the entire convention slate tonight... starting in less than an hour via CSPAN... and tweeting countering facts and insightful/inciteful commentary.

Actually watching already. Interview with Mike Leavitt, former Utah governor and friend/advisor to Romney (possible future Chief of Staff in a Mitt Admit). He said Romney is relaxed and ready for tonight.

Is that a worse level of interest than usual for a Presidential Nominee?

What percentage usually watch?

But 99% of Fox viewers will LIE and say they watched it tomorrow.

They will also LIE and say it was the best speech since Bush 2000, or Reagan 1980.
