Keller @ Large: Best Speeches Are The Personal Ones
Maybe it's a cliché at this point, but don't you prefer it when politicians talk about their real lives instead of peddling rhetoric?

Some highlights from WBZ NewsRadio 1030's day at the RNC Wednesday in Tampa.
The speech gave much of what Ann and Mitt Romney have been trying to reveal about themselves throughout the misleading negative campaigning of 2012 which has put them on some imaginary pedestal due to Mitt Romney's business success and extreme wealth. They, too, like most American families, have obviously experienced life's uncertain challenges intertwined with their successes.
As Hurricane Isaac threatens the Gulf again, we will see if Katrina and Isaac serve as bookends of GOP hostility to federal disaster relief. An odd stance for a party that claims to "choose life" while watching people die in natural disasters rather than provide an adequate response.
Here are highlights from WBZ NewsRadio 1030's day at the RNC Tuesday in Tampa.
Ron Paul's impact on the future of America and how the nation remembers his involvement with the GOP presidential campaign process of 2012 is his and his alone. By saying that he cannot fully support the Republican Party's choice and raising the discontentment of his supporters, he is on the verge of being best remembered as the presidential election spoiler – or attempted spoiler – of 2012.

The Republican National Convention runs through Thursday, August 30 in Tampa, Florida. Here is the latest convention news from CBS Tampa.
This convention will be an effort to buff up Romney's image, and tear down the incumbent's.
It isn't just Republican Members of Congress that have junk theories they attach to pseudo-science. Kevin D. Williamson, a conservative writer for the National Review, thinks based on their offspring, genetics and "evolutionary biology" Barack Obama should have ovaries and that Mitt Romney should owns him in this election, "Like a Boss".
So, with all due concern for damage and risk, I'm kind of hoping we do see a big storm in Tampa next week.
