Am I just a jerk? I saw clips of Ann Romney and Christie, I thought they both sucked!

I thought she came across like a card board box! Seriously, maybe everyone is just being nice and I am stepping over the line, but I thought she did not help him in the slightest, in fact I thought she actually weighted him down.

As for Christie, can we say self indulgent? He came across like a blithering wind bag!

I should note that I did not watch the speeches, I have only seen segments, playbacks, etc. I thought it was horrible!

Mitt Romney sitting on the side lines looked like a weak, wet puppy who wanted more than anything than to run!

on BBC World News, and I did not like the finger-waving aspect of it. She looked like that deranged Arizona governor...

never liked Christie, but he was rambling tonight and Ann read just what they wrote for her, Nice touch where she waved to her adoring fans, as she described them.

She talked about "moms" as if she were Donna Reed wearing pearls to mop the floor. Has she EVER mopped a floor?

millions of women in this country. OK, Ann, you love Mitt? Now what? How does that help me or the country?! I guess we should just trust you and find out, even though Mitt's past doesn't indicate that he's someone to be trusted.

If they were hoping to attract normal women last night, they failed. Miserably.
