9:42
M –  btw I hate that www.one.org ad.
9:45
M –  …and wtf is with all the natural gas ads? The Pickens ads for the RNC are much more overtly pusing CNG for cars… and whoever made this CNGNow.com ad must’ve missed Romney’s speech about not depending on the government, because they want Washington to lead on CNG?

10:13
M –  ”Change is not a destination, just as Hope is not a strategy”

M –  Man this guy is rocking. I wonder how differently the primary campaign would’ve been if Rudy was actually half as fun as his speech right now.
10:15
M –  …and you know, actually engaging with your audience. Although it’s kind of annoying when he repeats the crowd’s chants.
10:16
M –  …and Rudy’s stupid “keep us on offence” line.
10:19

10:31
M –  …this isn’t good. Don’t drown her out and make her look weak. Stupid crowd.
10:31
M –  …She’s said “thank you” like six times. Clearly the RNC thinks that women like Palin really exist to be seen, not heard.
10:32
M –  …and there goes Intrade’s 15% chance bet that Palin will be withdrawn at the last minute.
10:33
