So this speech tonight that Romney is giving is really good...

[WCGreen]

From a rhetorical and delivery POV.

I wonder if he knows that it is all over for him that he in not really going to win.

So I wonder if he is having a moment of clearity and that his dream will no longer be attainable and that he feels liberated.

1. What are you talking about?

Gingrich won ONE state.

This thing isn't over. Not over by a loooooong shot.

[WCGreen]

5. I think it is...

In the minds of a lot of people in the party.

They look at how small of a percentage he is getting after starting out in such a great position....

They have to be wondering why the rank and file in all of these three divergent states are not warming up to Romney.

I think they see something in the polling that says these people will not be jazzed about Romeny as they approach the General and that president Obama could bring back a whole lot of Democrats to DC...

That's what I think...

[JI7]

2. you thought that was a good speech ?

[WCGreen]

10. He delivered it well..

No stuttering, no searching for words...

For Romney, that is good...

[elleng]

12. NOT ad-lib,

that's fer sure! Teleprompter!!!

[tallahasseedem]

3. I actually thought it sucked...

he sounded like an asshole...per usual.

[PCIntern]

7. Isn't it unbelievable that he's SO BAD!!?

THIS is the heir-apparent? Wow...he makes Bush Jr. sound like Lord Chesterfield...

[CTyankee]

15. boy, me, too! what a loser...

[elleng]

4. Who needs rhetoric?

We've heard NOTHING about PLANS!

[WCGreen]

8. When was the last time a GOP speech had anything but catch phrases and bromides...

[elleng]

11. Never; they ain't got nuttin!

Laffer? Trickle-down?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. It's entirely possible...

I remember thinking the same thing about McCain, near the end of the campaign.

I thought perhaps he was just having fun since he'd realized it was over, that he couldn't win...

[oberliner]

9. What did he say?

Missed the speech - can you summarize?

[rufus dog]

14. Greed is good.

Not as direct but that was basically the theme.

[starroute]

17. He seemed to be saying any attack on him is an attack on free enterprise

And that since the free enterprise system is what made America great, any attack on him is an attack on America.

And that he would expect something like that from President Obama but not from a fellow Republican.

[JI7]

18. all those people who lost their jobs are just jealous of his success

[WCGreen]

19. Nothing really important...

More along the line of his delivery...

[MjolnirTime]

13. He looked like a sad muppet.

[Ilsa]

16. I think his speech might be good for Pres. Obama. nt

[tallahasseedem]

20. +1

[WCGreen]

21. It draws the distinction between the GOP and the Democrats....
