Delegate Joel Fox gives his views for Fox and Hounds Daily on Day 2:
Fred Thompson rocked the house at the Republican Convention last night in St Paul, Minnesota, but Sen. Joe Lieberman left a larger mark on the delegates at the convention.
Democrat Lieberman went farther than he was expected to go in support of Republican McCain according to a number of delegates in the hall. Despite a host of previous speakers, it fell to the Democrat Lieberman to first mention by name Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama.
"Senator Obama is a gifted and eloquent young man who can do great things for our country in the years ahead. But eloquence is no substitute for a record -- not in these tough times," Lieberman said. He added, "In the Senate he has not reached across party lines to get anything significant done, nor has he been willing to take on powerful interest groups in the Democratic Party."
Lieberman, the former Democratic Party vice-presidential nominee, offered words in support of Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Fred Thompson was an embarrassment. A terrible public speaker. This guy is a fake politician and an out of work actor with nothing to do. Looks like he had a few drinks before his speech.
