CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked RNC boss Ed Gillespie this morning: “The criticism that you guys made of the Democratic Convention was that it was sort of a makeover, that you were saying they didn’t talk about his record, that they presented a sort of face that was different. The same criticism can be made about the Republican Convention. The people you guys will have in primetime are the more moderate elements of the Republican Party. They’re not the far-right element.”

You will not find CNN asking Terry McAuliffe last month about his party’s “far left element,” even though their congressional speakers usually had ACU ratings under 10 percent, including John Kerry.
