The fact-checking craze got a little surreal (I assume--I drifted off before it came on) on CNN when Wolf Blitzer sat down with Eric Cantor to fact-check Ryan's speech. I'd like to think he went for a two-for-one takedown, but I wouldn't bet on it.

50-delegate survey at the convention. Obama's really stealing the U.N.'s thunder there.

where's bill ayers

― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 31 August 2012 00:17 (thirteen years ago)

It just occurred to me, if exactly 50 delegates were surveyed, I'm not sure how they arrived at those percentages. Tom Brokaw has apparently been hired as an RNC pollster.

maybe they got some answers like Barack Chinarism

Imagine how much bigger that percentage would be if he didn't kill Bin Laden.

The last words Mitt will hear before he speaks tonight, from an off-stage RNC official: "Just go out there and be yourself...but different."

― clemenza, Friday, 31 August 2012 00:43 (thirteen years ago)

forget about those peanuts!

You can tell paulistas weren't seated since the fed and fiat currency aren't there I guess.

CENSORSHIP

Not to cast aspersions, but that looks like a prompter is being set up for a person whose name isn't Barack Obama.

i ran the teleprompter for mccain when he rehearsed his speech in d.c. on tuesday -- they looked at the prompter when they came in and joked that it was 'the obama setup'

― some dude, Friday, 31 August 2012 01:14 (thirteen years ago)

"Chris Christie punching air" works.

Great McCain story!

who knows what time romneys set to go on

― lag∞n, Friday, 31 August 2012 01:28 (thirteen years ago)

This will surely alleviate skepticism about Romney's musical tastes...

Probably 10:30 for Romney? Rubio and Eastwood speak first. Assuming Eastwood's on before 10:00, I'm surprised the networks are taking a pass on that.

― clemenza, Friday, 31 August 2012 01:29 (thirteen years ago)

Strange, strange, strange...and sometimes defies logic: he's crying the night Obama won, and he hasn't cried that hard since...something that applies to the present.
