Convention

Probably more of a comment on me than anything else... But when I saw the flurry of "Mitt" signs at the Republican Convention in Tampa, the first thing I noticed was the use of a hash-tag, in this case, "#ROMNEYRYAN2012".

What? No URL? Is that 'sposed to be 'ole school now? On the other hand, maybe they're only trying to communicate with the insider regulars on Twitter -- and figure no one else is paying attention?

See what you miss when you're not paying attention:

Total snoozer. Even as someone in the opposition, I'm completely dissatisfied.

It seemed like a chore -- something he had to get through rather than a pivotal moment in the campaign to elect the next president of the United States.

If it were a movie, we'd all be asking for our money back.

On the bright side, at least we won't be hearing from the RNC for another four years!

Everytime we hear 'Country First' from a right-winger, we're under a patriotic obligation to throw it back in their faces. In one of the best lines from Obama's Acceptance Speech:

'So I've got news for you, John McCain. We all put our country first.'

Enough!
