re: #14 Dark_Falcon

Not a “barn burner” at all. that sort of speech is marked by a good bit of hostility, while Michelle Obama was going for a “high road” approach, as is normal for first ladies. She gave an excellent speech, that cannot be denied, but to call it a “barn burner” is an error in terminology.

Don’t be a pissy little baby whenever the other side does something that turns out well. The media, even your beloved NRO, has admitted this was a great speech, one of the best ever by a first lady, and clearly better than Ann Romney’s, which itself was pretty good.

It doesn’t mean that your robot candidate will lose the election, so there’s no need to adopt a knee-jerk reaction against Michelle’s speech. Just move on to the next GOP talking point.

And buck up: Romney’s Southern Strategy Redux has a decent chance of working. Your party’s narrow insularity won’t actually be a crippling disadvantage demographically for a couple more election cycles. So enjoy the Last Stand of the Angry Old White Man while it’s still around.
