The Keynote Speech

For one, I felt like the hall was only half full the entire time. Was weirdly empty. Felt like a $12 cable access show.

Secondly.  Rex Ryan Chris Christie is a great speaker, period. Oh, everything he said was bullshit, but he's a great speaker.

HOWEVER.

At no point during his speech did I think that he had ever, ever, even remotely come into contact with Mitt Romney. Whenever the camera cut to Romney and his wife, Romney looked like one of those old guys in The Muppets, Statler and Waldorf, vaguely nodding praise at Fozzie Bear as he sweated out another set of hackneyed riffs. No connection. At all. If they've met each other, I'd be surprised.
