Did anyone watch the RNC National Convention w/o the yak yaks?

Just wondering how it compared to the DNC convention. I have been watching it on C-Span and have found it amazing.

CSPAN, at least you get to see other speakers and videos w/o other people opinions of what you watched.

I watched very little of the RNC, mainly because I work nights. Although, I wasn't planning on watching much of it anyway.

I watched the DNC last night on CSPAN--thought Night 1 was fantastic.

I worked tonight (Day 2).
