>> its what they always tell. >> when you go behind, three impressive speeches, they were much better than last night. in fairness to ryan, it was better than i thought he was. i thought condoleezza rice was all chris said. the problem is none of them told the truth. the fact is that ryan very eloquently misled people. he walked out of the debt commission. he lied about the plant in his hometown. it was closed in the end of 08 when bush was president, not under obama. if you want to have an eloq...

Speech. but keep in mind the importance of the location in which this speech is happening. this is probably going to be the highest profile moment of the entire convention, were going to get from ann romney, except maybe her husbands speech. but in the state of florida, where tonights republican convention is being held, last july, republicans in the state passed a whole slew of new restrictions that make it harder to register to vote in the state. voting rights activists at the time said it wou...
