Convention just started.
Interesting choice for the invocation: A sikh complete with turban.
Then a Ron Paul love fest video.
Right now Mitch McConnell is electrifying the crowd with his slow and deliberative oratory non-skills. He is, however, spending some time slamming O'Bongo by name. Thankfully it didn't last long.
Now a musical number by Jack Blades (bass guitar player and vocalist for Night Ranger and Damn Yankees) singing something called "Back In The Game." Someone is definitely trying to make the point that Republicans rock.
* Oh, cool. This is my 4000th post. Yippee. *Rand Paul just took the stage. (7:30 ET) Starts out attacking O'BongoCare. Declares it unconstitutional in no uncertain terms. Crowd goes wild.
Now goes after, "You didn't build that." Pure conservative red meat going on here. This is definitely Kentucky's better senator when it comes to public speaking.
BTW...Romney went to Indiana today to speak at the American Legion conference. O'Bongo was busy fundraising and phoned it in with a video. This goes well with the news that O'Bongo
sent machine signed form letters to the families of fallen SEALs...mrs. trapeze said that it made her sick to her stomach.
Rand Paul is indicting O'Bongo over the debt big time. Lots of overtures to the Tea Party via love for the Constitution. Now paying homage to Reagan.
Now (7:45ET) there is a GHW Bush & GW Bush video presentation. GHW Bush imitates Dana Carvey imitating him...hilarious. Laura Bush is still the classiest first lady in the last I don't know how many years.
Now (7:50ET)
Beau Davidson ("Blessed") with lots of military pictures in the background...patriotic moment. Interesting look...long blond hair and navy business suit.
Now (7:55ET) Jeanine McDonnell speaks. She is the daughter of Virginia governor Bob McDonnell. Ex Military...Army platoon leader. She introduces Chris Devlin-Young...wounded in action...paralyzed. A para-Olympian in alpine skiing. Inspirational. And then ruins it by introducing Senator McSlug.
So (8:00ET) McSlug takes the stage. Perhaps he will be offering advice on how to win..."Don't do what I did."
