I can't see this convention so far giving them any major boost with undecided voters, but who knows. I'm not an undecided voter.
Last night watching Christie I was deeply and profoundly grateful that he wasn't the nominee this time out because I think he probably could beat Obama walking away. That said, I also think that the GOP seemed surprisingly subdued. There's no real enthusiasm for Romney and hating the black guy may not be enough to carry the day for them.

I have to agree, Christie's speech did seem more like a commercial for himself than Romney. Even the pundits remarked how it took him like16 minutes to get around to mentioning ole Mitt's name! I liked Ann's speech well enough but don't all these political wives say just about the same thing more or less? I'll never forget Elizabeth Edwards saying what a great President her husband would make!

I thought Rice was the rock star this evening. Great speech, very moving toward the ending when she spoke on "a personal note," and it made Paul Ryan sound like such an ordinary and unspiring man... (he's still speaking and I'm yawning).

Surprised a black, pro-choice, woman was allowed in the building, much less the podium!

Tokenism comes to mind.
