Depending on whom you ask, last nights' closing session of the Republican National Convention either inspired viewers or insulted them.  The evening fare was highlighted by a Mitt Romney acceptance speech, preceded by comments by Florida Republican Marco Rubio, and a surprise presentation by Conservative Hollywood actor/director Clint Eastwood. Eastwood's performance was generally perceived as bizarre - and for commentator, Playthell Benjamin, Rubio's speech was in keeping with the dishonesty that has marked the Romney Campaign.
