Rachel Maddow: Michelle succeeded with "what Ann Romney TRIED TO ACCOMPLISH in her speech..."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

OH, that's gonna leave a MARK.

[malaise]

1. I love your titles

[Amerigo Vespucci]

4. Oh, they write themselves...trust me.

[calimary]

2. Let's hope so.

No comparison. NONE.

[Kalidurga]

3. What was Ann trying to accomplish...

She came off like an animated mannequin only not as warm or human. It was one of the worst speeches I have ever heard. I took a couple minutes of it and fled for my own sanity.

5. To Republicans, SMARMY is an attribute

[Marie Marie]

7. I LOVE THE WOMEN!!!

There, now will you gals vote for my husband? Am I done - can I leave now? All these little people make me want a shower.

6. link to Rachel?

Internet access?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

8. No link...she just said it in MSNBC's live coverage. n/t

[SaveAmerica]

10. Is she at the temp place in Charlotte? Or inside the stadium?

[Cleita]

9. Rachel, never mean, but she doesn't mind making a salient point.

And that has to hurt because often the truth does hurt.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

11. One other excellent point that came out of the post-speech analysis...

...was that the Republicans applauded attacks on Obama while the Democrats applauded the Democratic agenda.

As I said elsewhere, I watched the entire RNC. There was no enthusiasm for Romney directly. The only time he got a rise out of the crowd was when he attacked Obama.

[Cleita]

12. Attacking Obama will be the only rise he will get out of his potential voters,

however, it will backfire on him because a lot of the undecided, middle of the road, (or as we call them low information voters) are not really mean people. It will eventually disgust them, especially if the media runs with it enough that they hear it over and over again, wherever there might be a TV on when they go about their business.

13. It's not the reaction of the crowd at the convention

It's the reaction of the people watching her speech on TV.

Sure a convention center filled with republicans are going to go bonkers for Marie Antoinette Wannabe, but I don't think of the home viewers especially democrats and independent voters, bought into her speech. Ann Romney is a woman of privileged who thinks people should just give her want she wants because she's wealthy.

Michelle never seemed like that ever. I Michelle's speech and I think she will impact home viewers!
