[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What struck me about the GOP convention was how nearly every speaker spent the majority of the time speaking about himself or herself, rather than Romney.

At the Democrats' convention, every speech was about Obama and why he should be reelected.

Quite a contrast.[/quote]

Some people said that was because they are trying out for 2016.  But I think it is because they struggle so hard to show that the GOP is friendly to blacks, hispanics, other immigrants, and women.  So all of those speakers were sent up there to "tell their story".  But in doing that, they talk about themselves.  It's not the same as the Dems.  They can do that with one or two speakers, but the party doesn't have to prove anything there.

Also, I think that very few of the speakers on the podium at the GOP convention can speak extensively and persuasively about Mitt Romney.  THey just don't have a relationship with the guy and unless they lived in Mass (btw was any speaker from Mass?) they haven't personally witnessed his experience as governor.[/quote]
