"Condoleeza Rice gave a presidential speech--Ryan did not!"

Chris Mathews is right. Condi was the much more presidential figure.

Ryan's speech was full of awkward turns of phrase and punch lines that fell flat. Not to mention ridden with half-truths and LIES.

She can never hold that office or the office of the V.P. She's a liar and a criminal. But hey, she can play the fucking piano and knows Russian history!

will forever exclude her from any further national office.

That being said, the contents and delivery of her speech were far more positive and uplifting that Pauly's.

Edit: spelling & syntax

Although her policies are terrible. She had some liveliness. Ryan was pretty lackluster. I think I have been spoiled by President Obama's speaking ability. Everyone in the last two nights has been putting me to sleep.

as presidential material! I think he could have said she gave a fast paced speech that was very well received in the convention hall and dropped it! He'll find his face on an video for her come 2016.
