Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch the entire convention, but I did manage to hear some of the more important speakers (i.e. Romney, Christie, and Ryan). Furthermore after listening to these speeches I felt like I was right back where I started when it came to political knowledge. I was actually questioning the purpose of such a convention. It seems to just be a gaudy celebration for republicans where there able to bring in Clint Eastwood to talk to a chair (a chair which I now believe may be in the lead at the polls). Anyways, the Los Angeles Times helped me contextualize the convention with this rather brief overview of the event by discussing Tropical Storm Isaac and a reference to Ron Paul fans to name a few items.
