I'm not sure you can challenge him on that one - he has been pretty solid on torture. There's lots to choose from, you don't need to dip to that level...

A coupel minutes too long, but a very good performance for a first timer at this level of an event.

Look at how popular Perez Hilton is, not saying that it is right, but people, especially the masses eat this stuff up.

I think tonight will work well for them come tomorrow.

Don't forget O'Reilly! I hope Bill-O brings up some of the attacks layed out tonight by Palin to Obama, especially the experience one.

oh damn JP, looks like you were wrong again. One of the first things ABC talks about when she's done is that bho will have to respond to her attacks, and will have to judge how hard to do so.

Just pointing out that he has gone through it, and admitted to giving false info as a result. Then being for our "enhanced" techniques is kind of a smidge disingenuous.

It just a shame they didn't do that at their convention.

I always hear Republican pundits, etc. saying that the Dems never use specifics in how their plans will be implemented. I've heard nothing from the Republicans so far either.

And Mccain steps up at the end.


Wonder whom else is going to talk tomorrow other than him now that all the major participants have gone through.

You may want to check the Romney transcript when ya have a chance.

Damn good night for the republicans it was. Everyone was on fire especially rudy with a great speech. Sarah Palin had a solid speech tonight nice balance of her history and attacks on Obama. Very good night hopefully the media will be in damage control for obama and forget about the palin family for a few days.

Christ, Romney and Guiliani were terrible. These guys are social liberals through and through yet the GOP wants to win evangelicals...how?

CNN is starting to remind me of the Bush 2000-2004 years. Lotsa softballs - they are getting speech analysis from her red-neck sister and husband for f@cks sake. MCCains criticisms must have made them back off...
