now let's go to Michael sure political correspondent for The Young Turks on
current tv
Michael let's talk a little bit about yesterday's keynote speeches I kind of
did my
instant analysis I had really the most say about the ann Romney speech because
that was really about Mitt Romney where's the chris Christie speech was a
lot about
in getting respect but I didn't really find him to be talking that much
about Mitt Romney give me your overview of how you thought the first made a
speech is one
well I mean you know here's here's the the basic overview
in the hall it does not feel electric I
sorta I ask somebody who I'm one working with I
at current who's been to it on a conventions
I its I it felt to me like this is what
the bob dole 96 the bob dole inventor must've felt like he said that was even
more raucous
I don't know if it was the hangover the hurricane I don't know close the
uncertainty
I'll what's gonna and today April there they were in the suspenders talk you're
spending
the convention if if people needed to go to a hurricane Isaac
I don't know what it was but there was some electricity in the hall
horse a lot of people could say well it's the candidate so all the speeches
were played to a
very sordid somber all we heard from people
up somebody who we are I guess it's a a source
inside the planning committee the convention they were told to turn up the
volume
up on all the music so it was boisterously lout up when
the music was playing in all just kinda make it seem more alive
so at the the the speeches themselves
it's not their fault fell on deaf ears but it took a while the biggest ovation
want to start water when he was introduced
%uh that was topped by Rick Santorum in to go over the speeches Rick Santorum's
speech
I think felt like the keynote address to this whole all
and chris Christie's was the keynote so the rest the country's
I and that that's how they picked up chris Christie speaks to me was the
kick-off the Christie 2016
I yet some good singers in there I thought it was so good really
professional
well delivered speech up it is what a keynote speech is gonna be I'm not agree
with a lot I said I think it's weird that was
it was a a lot a lot a lot a you know up
this in lot misleading in that speeds
but it was a professional speech and and that's what I thought and probably
at your anybody you're talking about how this was just a blow a speech do you
know anyone David's
who's like talking to a friend and saying: I really like when she said
acts there's nothing that you can cite from anything that was said except
prospectus pizza was sort of the Panola
sweet loving wife speech and then Romney came out at the end
for really brief interlude with her and with that but the
crowd it see you know in other years would have gone on much longer ovations
come back don't leave
there was not that he was out there for like 11 seconds then they left
yeah it is strange that you know the and Romney speech it's funny because who I'm
surprised outside the convention Green Zone so to speak
yeah before the speech everybody was saying it's gonna be incredible she's
going to be wonderful it's gonna turn everything around you gonna humanize
Mitt Romney
which by the way if you're waiting till six weeks before the election to
humanize the guy
you're probably in trouble but with it was almost like written on the wall
because
afterwards on TV and on blogs at center they were saying exactly that which is
you know missus America it was incredible so on and so forth
but I'm curious was that the attitude inside the convention
it wasn't airman everybody of course that that everybody inside the
convention and the media also the ones that are putting that out
making making the statement that this is gonna softened candidate setter
however what what really showed through was
that she gave a speech that while it was really important and they kept adjusting
schedules to make sure it got prime-time coverage
it didn't do courted everyone inside the Green Zone
you describe here which is accurate up that
did everybody here did feel that there is something magical about
it was sweet it was you know above criticism but it was certainly
well below adulation and I think that was
the the problem with her speech last night it will be for gotten
I in the annals of books %uh convention speeches but I think they're gonna be
clip clips and both
chris Christie's beat not from ann Romney speech in that much
it seems like a nice moment and she but she didn't create a bob between her
husband in America Los
so much like newt Gingrich said about Mitt Romney
you don't particularly dislike ann Romney right now
right I don't particularly ally I have nothing at Sarah I couldn't care less
about the perfect
general you know I really but I mean eitan barbara Bush
annoying during Katrina but she was well beyond big group
the first lady that what's I really couldn't care less I i feel like
you know obviously we're gonna be curious about the we're gonna interview
the people going to talk to them we're gonna wonder
gonna opinion when our opinions about the I could not care less so but she
does seem like a lovely woman she's a since your woman
she's upped been through a lot with breast cancer and happen bassam
race in five or place and she did a quick you know in that
in a in a way not many Americans can do it but she did it and
at so I I couldn't care less about that but that was for jobs
to speak to america that her husband is more than what we know already that she
didn't do that job last night Mike
