Republican National Convention

[swake]

If you combined all the cable networks that carried it, it didn't.

Why did the networks not carry any coverage of the final night anyways?

Who didn't carry it?

[erfalf]

Who didn't carry it?

I didn't think I saw anything on NBC, CBS or ABC. Was I wrong or just not checking at the right times?

[Conan71]

We watched it on CBS, I think.

[joiei]

I watched it on CBS

[AquaMan]

It was everywhere. I tried to find something else to watch and ended up on 792 watching a TNT classic.

That darned liberal media. Tricked into carrying it no doubt.

[erfalf]

My mistake, I was watching most of the earlier stuff. The networks didn't pick it up until 9. I just didn't bother to swith by then.

Although I did go back and look at the schedules and noticed ABC was carrying an NFL game. Priorities

So you missed Eastwood, Rubio and Romney, you know, the main speakers of the evening.


Eastwood was strange, maybe drunk and somewhat entertaining. Everything was downhill from there.

Rubio is a very talented speaker for a Tea Party hack. He's going to go places.

Romney was ok, very paint by numbers and way too long. Very short on specifics, as always, but no stumbles and nothing out of place. He did what he had to do.

He'd better be telling the truth about that Rose story or his whole campaign is over. If it comes out that it was a pandering fabrication to win female voters he's going to get torched.

I heard or maybe read in the TW that Eastwood ad-libbed his routine.  True, he is older than we remember him in Dirty Harry and the Spaghetti Westerns.

Romney was ok, very paint by numbers and way too long. Very short on specifics,

Unlike Obama 4 years ago.  I mostly remember "Hope and Change".  You hoped you knew what he wanted to change.

[Townsend]

I'd heard the same on NPR.  Supposed to be a 3 minute speech and stretched it to 15.

Look how far it's gotten Obama with no other particular talent or leadership skills.

Just watched on a cable channel as opposed to one of the networks. I didn't see them all, but I saw enough.

My wife's take (who is not political at all) on Romney was that he just seems like an all around nice guy, although a bit robotic. A guy you would want to teach your kids or something. Believe it or not there are quit a few Mormons in Bartlesville and every one that we have met have been some of the most upstanding people. Those impressions stick with you. And the stories of Romney's thoughtfulness toward his fellow human beings only seem to reinforce that impression.

Now, none of what I just said means that he would be a good President, but it's not nothing. People like people like themselves, and I think in general, people are good.

[Hoss]

Yep, I'm sure most people are going to relate with a guy who has a $100 million dollar retirement fund and spent some of his time this week on a yacht named "Cracker Bay".  LOL.

I don't relate to our current President either.

Good one.  Not.
