The second night was great.

I couldn't get enough of Pawlenty's Obama roast.

Condi's speech was very powerful. I loved this personal part she shared:

"And on a personal note – a little girl grows up in Jim Crow Birmingham – the most segregated big city in America - her parents can’t take her to a movie theater or a restaurant – but they make her believe that even though she can’t have a hamburger at the Woolworth’s lunch counter – she can be President of the United States and she becomes the Secretary of State. Yes, America has a way of making the impossible seem inevitable in retrospect. But of course it has never been inevitable – it has taken leadership, courage and an unwavering faith in our values."​

I'd never heard of Susana Martinez (Governor of New Mexico) but she had a great background story, and she explained how she was convinced to switch parties.
I LOLed at her surprise at her conversion. "I'll be Damned! We're Republican!"

I was impressed with Paul Ryan, and enjoyed his jabs at Obama.
 
I left the Ryan speech thinking that Obama is a much better presenter, but his holding his nose in the air will wear thin with a voting populace wanting someone to speak with them, rather than at them. His speech was okay, not great, overall, imo. But I do think he spoke as someone that will do the dirty work (elbow grease) .. that was good.

I have felt Obama can't be beat by Romney, this will be an interesting few months, for sure.

Kind of like Romney is quiet about his tax returns?

THat was pretty good. Well done.

@PKM. I actually think Obama can be beat. Not saying he will be I certainly think it is possible. The election will be close either way in my opinion.

Yes I enjoyed when the Republicans took control of congress, and Newt was speaker.

Interesting perspective.

I don't see how people think Obama is a good "presenter." He puts in a lot of "ums" between words. I had a professor who did that and I could barely stand sitting through his lectures.
