As a performance, Romney gave his best speech I’ve ever heard from him. Which suggests to me that he’ll be better in debates (given how well prepared he seemed for the speech) than I or others might’ve thought he’d be.  He’ll be ready to go, if tonight’s any indication.  The question becomes, will Romney be the confident speaker he was tonight or the petulant school boy he often was in the primary debates.

On the other hand, 12 million jobs in 4 years? Cut the deficit in half? Really? Good luck.

Obama increased taxes on the middle class? Obama went on an apology tour? Really?

Much of the substance of his speech left him open to all kinds of rejoinders from the Obama campaign.

And let’s not even begin to talk about Clint Eastwood . . .
