Maybe Romney/Ryan would have had a decent bounce if they'd used the convention to explain how they propose to do better. Right now their "plan" looks like all smoke and mirrors.

I watched all the speaches yesterday that were not available on MSNBC by tuning in the CPAC - it was great. The energy from every speaker was excellent - this is the kind of convention I would love to attend.

Obama is doomed... No president should win reelection if he has had unemployment above eight percent for his entire term. Keynesian economics fail again and again and again and again and people keep voting in Keynesians....

You know what pulled the US out of the great depression?? After YEARS and YEARS of FDR "injecting" money into the circular flow the economy was STILL terrible. Then the US cut government spending and the economy rebounded to full employment.

Obama just doesn't get it... Paul Ryan majored in economics and knows what it takes to get America going again.
