McCain's speech

Anybody watch? It was quite a let down really, and can't feel good to be upstaged by your VP pick

The Cindy McCain story was pretty amusing. I guess if we all grew up incredibly rich we could do more social work as well. Perhaps instead they should have talked about the blue collar slobs who drove her father's beer trucks.

John McCains speech seemed to be the same GOP rhetoric, but nothing really new. I want to know how the Republicans think they're better prepared to lead this nation given the BIG challenges we're going to face this decade. Didn't hear it.

Instead of his experience in the Senate, he focused mostly on his time as a POW. Great, we all know and respect that time. I think it also speaks volumes about McCains fortitude and spirit. But at the convention it was used as a crutch.

I'm also quite amused at McCain's calls to end divisive politics, after 4 days of nothing but, culminating with Lindsy Graham, someone who I actually like, remarking that Obama's policy requires falure. Sounds pretty constructive to me.

At the same time, Palin is making public remarks against dailykos, the ultra left wing blog that tried to break the babygate story resulting in Palin fessing up about her daugher's own pregnancy. I guess when you see windmills...

So John, I'm trying to like you again, but you just ain't doing it for me. Nobody seems to be actually...

What say you?
