Poll: Was Clint Eastwood's Speech A Positive or Negative For Romney?
Personally, I think Clint's schtick with an empty chair was a net positive.

Until next week when George Clooney gives a more coherent speech next to an empty suit.

It was a negative - not because it didn't work or something, but because it's all people are talking about now, when ideally people should be talking about Rubio's, Ryan's, or - best of all - Romney's speeches and platforms and so on.

I don't see how it matters. All I thought about it was that Clint needs to go get a cat scan.

Hard to say. It was painful for me to watch. Not for Romney's sake though. Felt bad for Clint. I hate to see him get old.

I love Clint. That speech was hilarious. Little to no affect.

I can't imagine that it swayed any votes even subconsciously.

"Conventional" wisdom is that it was a negative because it was the thing people were talking about rather than Mitt or Mitt's speech.

However, if it means that people won't remember Mitt's substance-free speech full of platitutes about parent's love and how the Rs all rallied around Pres. Obama with their support after the 2008 election, Clint was a net positive for him.

Yea, I have no idea how it can be spun into a positive.

Instead of the media and people talking about Mitt's lousy speech, they talked about Clint.

"We Americans have always felt a special kinship with the future." WTF is that?

What was with Clint bitching to invisible Obama about the decision to invade Afghanistan?

No difference. Don't understand why RNC leadership, or controllers of the message, were upset about it.
Perhaps, because Clint mocked the wars ever so slightly. Judging from the camera moving around the forum, not all Republicans looked pleased at that part.

It is probably because he looked like a blathering mumbling idiot muttering sentence fragments.

It was a positive.

Not what he said, but because of the extra people he got to tune into the convention.

I voted positive, because it is actually distracting from Romney's speech which was not very good. Romney did what most people expecting him to, he gave a speech about the results he wants, but once again did not provide a plan.
