Watcher’s Council Nominations – Conventional Wisdom Edition

Video:  Mia Love’s Speech at the RNC Convention

Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council.Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday.

This week’s contest is dedicated to Mia Love, the child of Haitian immigrants, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, the next congresswoman to represent Utah’s 4th congressional district and someone who has an innate understanding of what America is all about and exactly why it’s worth saving.

And of course, To Mrs. Ann Romney, who has always been proud of her country.
