1. Oy indeed. Wonderful? Hardly. Stirring? Yikes. If that stirs you,
you need to get a fuckin' LIFE.
Pathetic.

3. How many days...
Will they fawn all over this speech? Obama's speech was forgotten by these people the next day.

John McCain and his Alaska Hunting Barbie will be the death knell.

8. For him. The bar is always low for him, so this one was OK I guess.
The media gives him passes on what he says, how is says it and let's him deny or lie about

10. There are ramifications to a bad review
These guys aren't stupid. If they criticize McCain's lame speech or call it like it really is, the maverick won't talk to them. All access to the campaign will be cut off.

So they lie. Out and out lie. McCain will allow them to continue covering him and occasionally speak with them.

It would be nice if they all banded together and just told the damned truth and leave McCain with no options but to either excel or wither on the vine. But that is not going to happen.

15. "All access to the campaign will be cut off." And that would be bad... because?
Shit. The best thing that could happen would be for the McCain campaign to cut off media access. Just leave the nutjobs in a media blackout. I don't see a downside.

12. Well, Mark Shield on PBS is not praising it.
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 10:30 PM by dontforgetpoland
He said it didn't appeal to the swing voters. At least not everyone over there has lost their minds.

David Brooks, on the other hand, probably was praising it before it was even started.
