August 29, 201214 yr I thought Christie did well--above average--but I wouldn't classify it as off the charts. He framed the debate to where it needs to be: who is willing and capable of leading through difficult time. Clearly the current leadership has shown little ability to deal with economic issues or getting close to balancing a budget. The last thing Obama wants is for this election to come down to real issues. That's where I think the republicans are attempting to take this election.
August 29, 201214 yr He needs to do both. I don't think they're mutually exclusive. I don't disagree. But I don't see how he can become more personable in a 30-40 minute speech. I guess he could try giving Tipper Gore the tongue.

But like Clizzy, I don't think he gave a great effort to put Mitt Romney inside that frame.
August 29, 201214 yr Somebody let Chris Mattews know that he has zero clue how to dress. Strips and Plaids don't mix. At least not the way he has them.

Didn't we hear cries in 2008 about people voting "anyone other than Bush?"
August 29, 201214 yr Author Somebody let Chris Mattews know that he has zero clue how to dress. Reminds me of Leatherneck alittle. Strips and Plaids don't mix. At least not the way he has them. He is not going to be in GQ.
August 29, 201214 yr Author I don't disagree. But I don't see how he can become more personable in a 30-40 minute speech. I guess he could try giving Tipper Gore the tongue. God bless you. That was well done. I always like a good historical reference. No "like" though.
August 29, 201214 yr Author He framed the debate to where it needs to be: who is willing and capable of leading through difficult time. . He was heading that way and I thought he was building up to "and here's how Gov Romney is going to do it and here's how he did it in MA." Missed opportunity.
August 29, 201214 yr Nothing you typed sold Gov Romney to those who are not far right like you. That's my point. Everyone in that hall is sold on the Gov. The goal should be to sell him and his ideas to the key people(and it's not those in the hall, you, LN, Lawboy, etc). Thats why I said they failed. He challenged America. It's not christy's job to sell Romney its romney's job to sell Romney.
August 29, 201214 yr Author SC Govenor pointed out how Obama has done nothing but bite the hand that feeds the state. SC sued the government to get jobs back into SC. She was a bit vague as to reality of that situation with Boeing. She didn't tell the full story.

Do you really think anyone that isn't sold on Romney is actually watching the convention?

August 29, 201214 yr She was a bit vague as to reality of that situation with Boeing. She didn't tell the full story. Enlighten me.
August 29, 201214 yr Author He challenged America. It's not christy's job to sell Romney its romney's job to sell Romney. 10000% incorrect. Every moment of the convention is now about selling the candidate. You could not be more wrong. Mr Christie sold Mr Christie for 2016.
