It's supposed to be the Democratic National Convention, but that hasn't stopped Repubicans, including former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, from crashing the party.

Romney, considered on the short list to be John McCain's running mate, was all over Denver preaching the McCain and Republican message. The Boston Globe said it pretty much looked like a dress rehearsal as the party's vice presidential nominee.

Quote: "Barack Obama is a charming and fine person with a lovely family, but he's not ready to be president," said Romney, asserting an Obama presidency would "make America a weaker nation" with "less prosperity and less security."
