2012 GOP convention live, thread #11: Lyin', damn lyin' and Romney-Ryan

Republican National Convention: The race to the bottom Watch live video here and join the conversation as we live blog the 2012 GOP convention.

7:54 PM PT: I have no idea what Romney is trying to do with this remark: "You know there's something wrong when the best feeling you had is the day you voted for him."

7:56 PM PT: Maybe it's just me, but his habit of smacking his lips is really unappealing.

7:56 PM PT: How concerned is Romney camp about how Eastwood played? They released a statement during nominee's speech, saying it was break from speeches

7:57 PM PT: At this rate, I'm wondering'half-seriously'whether Romney will address the Eastwood fiasco during his speech.

7:57 PM PT: Mitt Romney is now telling us how he got so fucking rich. Mitt: we don't care!

7:59 PM PT: The most passionate line of Romney's whole speech: "In America, we celebrate success, we don't apologize for success."

7:59 PM PT: More Romney camp on Eastwood: "His ad libbing was a break from all the political speeches, and the crowd enjoyed it." #NBCPolitics

8:00 PM PT: This is a really bad speech. It's clear Romney wrote it himself.

8:01 PM PT: Romney ventures into policy territory: America needs jobs, he says. Okay, that's it for policy. Next!

8:02 PM PT: Eastwood content getting more traffic than anything else this entire convention, per our live stats. By a lot.
— @BuzzFeedBen via TweetDeck Of course it is, because Romney's speech is offering nothing new and is boring as hell, and Eastwood, while weird, was kind of interesting.

8:04 PM PT (Kaili Joy Gray): New thread here.
