What an odd first convention night for the Republicans.
Governors touted their states - - Wisconsin, Ohio, South Carolina,
New Jersey - - and told their personal or political stories, but had
little to say about Mitt Romney.
Wasn't that their assignment - - to flesh out a guy to a television
audience - - not to the conventioneers - - who remains a distant and
mysterious, country club fellow?
Instead, I saw a lot gratuitous praise for women, and a lot of egos
on display by governors and others who have their own agendas, but
Romney was an afterhought. I can't imagine he's happy about the evening
unless he's completely dense.
I also found it fascinating that this is the party of small
government and self-reliance, but two speakers - - Ann Romney and Chris
Christie - - touted publicly-funded government scholarship programs.
Live-blogged at The Political Environment earlier in the evening.
