The convention is usually the place where the party looks its best and brightest. Even if you disagree with the bullshit they're saying, you can't help but notice the excitement in the air.

But this? It's a freakin' funeral! Seriously. They look so old and outdated. Same old bullshit lines; same old tired ideas. It's pathetic!

Quite a contrast from the high-tech, high-energy Dem convention that was filled with fresh ideas, positive energy, inspiration and hope.

5. That's a good description of it.
They look like they would rather be somewhere else ... ANYWHERE else. :)

4. Dullsville
I'm only watching on and off ... but the audience shots seem to show a lot of delegates talking to each other when they should be cheering and yelling.

Of course, you don't expect these folks to jump up and down too much because they might wrinkle their suits and gowns.
