Day two for the Republicans was another bust. Bush via satellite? Fred Thompson droning on in prime time? Yawn. (Remember: The Dems had the Hillary psychodrama on day two.) So, instead of convention speeches, here's the (brutal) first six minutes of the CBS Evening News.

- WaPo headline: "Palin Slashed Funding for Teen Moms." Are the Republicans now touting Palin's handing out of her kid's allowance as budget experience?
- Tonight, the lady speaks.
- Poor, marginalized Republican Ron Paul can still raise a hearty crowd.
- Republicans, sensing imminent defeat, reignite the culture wars.
- Oil prices continue their temporary, election year decline.
- What does Apple have up its sleeve for next week?
- Tom Brady's ready to go.
