Romney Shares Top Billing With Eastwood
A new Pew Research survey finds the public paid far less attention to this year's Republican convention than it did four years ago. Just 37% say they watched all or some of the Republican convention, down from 56% in 2008.
More troubling for Republicans: 20% of those who watched cited Clint Eastwood's speech as the convention highlight, while just 17% named Mitt Romney's speech.

I remember when they announced they had this big huge Thursday night surprise in store and were so proud of themselves. Now I'll bet it never happened!

Worst. Candidacy. EVER. How sad is it when you're parading all of these "stars" and the Presidential Candidate isn't one of them?
I was thinking of it more as a pathetic piece of comedy
that got a lot of attention.

(128,371 posts)Or is the media going to continue the GOP's "projection" of their own negativity as being that of the Democrats?
We all know the answer to that.
