GOP convention: A Horrible No-Good First Night
The arena was half-filled and the place wasn't miked in a way that could disguise the hollowness of the acoustics. The crowd was depressingly old and clearly up well past their bedtime. Obvious applause lines were barely noticed. Nikki Haley's jaw was so clenched that she looked like a meth-head. Ann Romney's dress only served to make her look more overweight than she actually is. Chris Christie scowled through his supposedly uplifting lines. Mitt Romney looked like he was deeply displeased with the proceedings.
The bottom line was that no one made the case for Mitt Romney. No one even wanted to talk about him, including his wife. The crowd didn't seem to even be excited to be there.
But, really, Ann Romney's speechwriter is the biggest hack in the universe. I wonder if she actually wrote it herself and no one had the balls to edit it .
