-- live from Tampa Florida special coverage of the RNC on the fact that this evening.

Free and Dick Morris is in our New York studio.

So what is the most important.

The most important thing that you seen or heard at this convention so far.

-- Romney's speech.

It.

Obama's entire campaign for five months.

Has -- to personally discredit Mitt Romney and -- personal barbs at his integrity is compact and his humanity is a questioning whether he lives on the same planet as the rest of us here.

And then Romney really reported that she really brought it back to earth she explained who he was.

She explained it very clear terms and she offered.

Vivid personal testimonials.

-- the hard times they've been through together when she talks about having dining room -- the ironing board with the dining room table.

And companies can I think that this guy was born having at all.

OK so she.

I was still one at 1010 being the best one bit worse her speech was very -- intense she she's better than any other First Lady.

Candidate or the incumbent.

-- ever spoken at the convention.

Why -- who has the best much that is an sort of house on better than Elizabeth Dole who was terrific.

Mrs.

Kerry was not Bob but Hillary.

Better than any of them have better than Laura Bush.

Absolutely incredible and -- The other speeches did not necessarily serve core strategic purposes this did this was effectively the answer to negative campaign.

She had a mandate and then she was successful and putting it over on television which is very very important right now Chris Christie came up behind -- governor in New Jersey -- -- Apparently.

And I I thought he dropped out of the presidential race it sounded like you better get back here.

He just talked about himself in New Jersey and very little about Obama or Romney.

They have been one or two failings of this convention so far it's not over by any.

One failure is the word Bain Capital -- never been mentioned.

It's a big secret nobody mentions the word.

Well come on Obama's whole campaign is based on being -- What they need to have here is a video.

Of jobs that were created some speakers who say he saved money.

Job he saved my benefits.

You can't let that -- sit out there without an answer.

I also field that.

McCain's speech tonight.

No -- -- I don't get the McCain -- let's just stay with Christie for a minute -- -- -- that you felt that that Christie's.

Remarks were -- centered on himself in what he did -- New Jersey.

But he was tried by extension to say this is what the Republican Party stands for.

It was an economic getting whatever the teachers' unions I needed they got was affected -- -- going gifted teachers union was very good but I don't think that much to do with the presidential race.

I think that he he forgot that he was a key notre from the ground.

And he was a very.

Assertive against Barack Obama and I'll discuss that later did some inside baseball if people want to -- Right so that John McCain comes up tonight kicks off prime time and how did -- do.

I thought it was obviously very dignified and very eloquent speech.

And may -- good case.

But there are so many things that he did mention that -- going off.

In the minds of the voters like alarm clock since he spoke.

The first thing.

Obama's ratings from foreign policy -- the high point of his presidency but he gets better ratings on that than anything else largely because he killed -- lot.

And.

Topple Qaddafi.

And also people are saying well we go -- defending the cause of freedom -- place.

When we end up -- another after another Iraq.

And the Afghan war isn't going anywhere.

So I think that.

I think that he really.

Articulated a case that I don't think it's gonna go over very well with the voters.

All right so you -- that was a missed opportunity there -- would have liked to have heard more about.

His experience with Barack Obama but here's something everybody should know.

We have a knock out interview with John McCain tomorrow night on the factor -- they knocked out interview that I think people are going to be very very.

You bribe this was the guy who lost to Barack Obama went right hand and he knows you know -- -- alliances -- -- the way I lost the election last time with that he said he would cut the deficit in the sure we get on that side -- unemployed -- got a 5%.

I gotta catch on his got a couple more speeches coming up that we wanted to got a New Orleans is well locked in a woman's Honda Tampa -- -- Dick Morris directly ahead more speeches.
