Watch live video here and join the conversation as we live blog the 2012 GOP convention. 7:34 PM PT: Here comes Mitt Romney, Rubio is done. Rubio, I think, had a slip-up at the end of his speech, accidentally saying: "We chose more government over freedom." Romney is making his way towards the podium, shaking hands with delegate.
7:36 PM PT: Romney is now at the podium. The empty chair is gone.
7:37 PM PT: BREAKING: Mitt Romney accepts the GOP's nomination for POTUS. More at 11.
7:37 PM PT:
Re: Eastwood -- one of the running themes of Romney's entire yearlong campaign is how it has blown some very easy layups— @mmurraypolitics via web
Examples: the Ford Field speech in Detroit, the gaffes before/after the NH primary, criticizing the London Olympics, and now Eastwood— @mmurraypolitics via web
7:38 PM PT: After Eastwood, Romneyland will say of Ford Field: "Those were the days."
7:39 PM PT: Romney stumbles over his comeback to Ryan's iPod jab, rushing his delivery and mispronouncing "playlist."
7:40 PM PT: Mitt is smacking his lips. It's a really unattractive trait.
7:42 PM PT (Kaili Joy Gray): New thread here.
