That stupid voice she always does is really off-putting. She goes too far over the top on things sometimes. Still, this was a great segment.
So what are expectations for Romney's speech tonight? I think most are expecting it to be vanilla Robo-Mitt. I'm not sure he can nail it like Palin did last time around, which, for as much as she tanked after that, her convention speech was pretty electric as far as VP speeches go. I think he'll probably nail it and do better than most expect.

What? Deadline confirmed it yesterday.
When you're put in the Figure 4 Leg Lock, all you gotta do is roll over.

I expect something like Ryan-lite. He won't have as many exaggerations or lies as Ryan because he won't get into any specifics at all. It will basically consist of "I'm going to help the middle class by making America great again by helping the middle class"

Wow . . . he said that out loud?
That is quite the admission of anger-based racial politics. Not that it was a disputable fact but it is funny to hear him say it out loud.
Told yalls, I got mocked.
Just got my "Distribution of Participant Fee Disclosure" packet for my companie's 401k, thanks Dodd/Frank.

Well.. it looks like fewer people are tuning-in to the RNC this time around..

Ouch.
Pigeon: I tip my cap. You've knocked it out of the park.
re: what Miss Lindsey (*two snaps*) said..
Nice to hear someone from their party say it aloud. I bet they all know, and that it freaks them the fuck out. They must be thinking about this election as though it may be their last great chance before they're forced to, *ahem*, evolve to fit a changing electorate.
Meanwhile, the "Sonic the Hedgehog Is Drowning!" music beats louder and louder in the background of my mind for them..

Ice cold.
you are boring
you made my bad joke seem like I was stupid instead of just unfunnyThis goes straight to the "real life or The Onion?" pile.
Also, Lindsey Graham is really an idiot.

That Thread title is awesome but will it fit?
Also, if Eastwood is speaking tonight, it could be pretty effective if he keeps it positive and inspiring (somehow). Going negative on Obama, though, will just make him look old and cranky. At best.

I built that...
Punishing success...
Politics of division...
I went to Israel...
Putting our service members of the armed forces in danger from cuts...
War on Religion...
Iran... Russia... Providing aid and comfort to our enemies...
Keystone pipeline...
Obama's negative attacks...
(lame personal anecdote with fake half chuckle presented as evidence of humanity)
No actual plans or details.
Oh, I'm sure he's just an outlier and in no way representative of the party.
Uh, he is old and cranky.

True that.
Mmmhmm
I'm honestly curious how he'll tackle the Romney/Obamacare connection, or if he'll just avoid it entirely.

CNN Camerawoman "Not Surprised" by Peanut-Throwing
"But Carroll, 34, said that as an Alabama native, she was not surprised. "This is Florida, and I'm from the Deep South," she said. "You come to places like this, you can count the black people on your hand. They see us doing things they don't think I should do."
Carroll noted of the Republican convention, "There are not that many black women there."
She said she wanted to thank CNN, which "has been behind me 100 percent." Although she was stationed on the floor next to Fox News, she was not operating the camera at the time. The perpetrators "didn't know what I was doing. I happened to be standing there," near one of the delegations.
"I can't change these people's hearts and minds," Carroll added. "No, it doesn't feel good. But I know who I am. I'm a proud black woman. A lot of black people are upset. This should be a wake-up call to black people. . . . People were living in euphoria for a while. People think we're gone further than we have."
Carroll said she had received many requests for interviews and was in meetings most of Wednesday. "I was hoping this story would go away," she said. "I'm not interested in talking to any other media about this."

No one tops the Palin
I think that's about right. Any straying can cause a gaffe which could be devastating.

Not surprising, I bet the DNC will be down quite a bit too.
Way more channels and less people watching TV these days.
