I Didn't Watch McCain's Speech Last Night But It Doesn't Seem

[maseman]

to have been that great from what I have read here. The talking head's have been kind of ho hum about it overall and the venon isn't here at all from DU. Did it really fall flat with the moderates out there?

1. It sucked. n/t

2. It was a good speech by McCain's standards

Which means if Obama had a cold, a flu, and tuberculosis, and was both drunk and high, he would have done a better job.

3. I am a moderate

I thought it was a solid speech, not ground breaking, but far from falling flat

[Thrill]

4. Bottom Line. The media just hates to criticize McCain

That speech was awful. They know it. But for some reason, they just refuse to really go after him. Even though he constantly whines like a 8 yr old about the media

5. i want to know if he had a screen behind him

that would let colbert make him more interesting again. that would be hilarious!! LOL!

6. It wasn't all that bad, but

Obama's set the bar to a new height, and McCondo doesn't come close.

7. It reminded me a little of Biden's speech ...

... it was fairly low-key and safe. In Biden's case, the campaign obviously wanted to establish a softer kinder Biden, but in McCain's case I think it was the only kind of speech he was capable. I mean, the guy is pretty old and obviously not in the best physical health, so they gave him the kind of speech he could best handle. It was not an inspiring speech, but it was competently delivered. (I did not watch the entire speech because I found it rather boring.)
