congressman. what we do know is that there was an incredible volume of tweets out there. more than out for mrs. romney last night. and now the reason the score didn t go up very much may have been a lot of democrats were out there tweeting negative things and republicans tweeting positive things but he got the discussion started tonight. chris, thank you. and let s head down to the convention floor. martha? hi there, bret. standing down here during this speech with condoleezza rice she gave, it was a powerful speech and she resonated with this crowd. for a woman who claims not to like politics very much and speech giving very much she did it without a prompter. it was a solid comfortable performance based on reaction of everybody around us. and she gave a personal story in the speech that really, you
