Chuck Todd: "...Mitt Romney seemed a "guest at his own convention"

[KoKo]

Todd went on to say that the enthusiasm at the Democratic Convention is so strong that the floor was filled for speeches starting at 6:00 p.m. where in the Tampa Convention the delegates weren't on the floor and paying attention that early to any of the speakers.

And...that "Mitt Romney seemed a guest at his own convention."

The other guests on the panel also talked about the incredible enthusiasm of the Democrats for each speaker and how different that was from the Repug Convention in Tampa

Nice commentary from the sometimes clueless "Chucky T"...I thought.

1. Someone chimed in that Romney's appearance

was almost like an after-thought!
Everyone's pretty much trashing the Re-thugs.

2. Made the mistake of flipping over to Fixed Noise ...

this morning.

They are SO NOT COVERING Michelle's speech, they even had Ryan on, talking about God not being mentioned in the Dem Platform, (as it had been once in the 2008 platform, and is mentioned 12 times in the Republican one).

Fixed Noise then spent 3 minutes covering Nascar events!!!

3. weren't on the floor and paying attention

that early to any of the speakers.

And that wouldn't be,in large part,due to everyone knowing they would be subjected to lies and bullshit,and knowing in advance JUST what the lies would be?.....Nah...Of course not.....

4. That is because Willard was a guest

The GOP formed it's platform without his input, and If they did ask, they did not let his belief sway their platform in any way. he can stand there and disagree with it, but the platform is what EVERY Repugnant will run on...including Willard.
Yes, he was a guest at his party, he had no say in it's design or content.

5. President Obama will own his convention and already does.

[central scrutinizer]

6. the RNC speeches were simulcast to the local sex parlors

so no need to be on the floor

7. Well, he looks like a tourist in his own country

marveling at doughnuts, cheesy grits, and the height of trees..

8. Oh...that was his convention?

I never heard him mentioned!

9. the man reason is that Democrats send regular people to the show as delegates...

The pooper smoochers get the loges and access of the floor.

The GOP is much more about working out deals and such off camera.
