@Finn dAbuzz,
Quote:Romney, not his wife, must convince people to vote for him.
True.
But part of the reason in having her speak was to show her husband as a "real guy", with human dimensions, who can connect to ordinary people, and, quite possibly, to make women voters more comfortable with him and his understanding of women's issues. And she really didn't succeed on either score.
Maybe her speech was too hyped in advance and I expected too much, but they could have, and should have, come up with a better speech for her. It was a blown opportunity.
Chris Christie, like Santorum, barely mentioned Romney in his speech. These people seem more interested in talking about themselves than about Romney. What gives?
