6:56 PM PT: They are playing a video about Mitt's life. With at least two photographs, they are digitally animating a flame on a torch supposedly being held (by Mitt in one photo and by Ann in another).

7:02 PM PT: Ann Romney is in just about every photo with Mitt.
7:03 PM PT: Clinton Eastwood takes the stage.
