I have to say I fell asleep during his speech. The part that I heard wasn't that bad, actually for McCain I would have to be characterized it as good, as McCain is a wet blanket. Palin is the only reason I will be voting for this ticket.

Morning jt - I waited lastnight for the regulars at FOX10 to post something, as they did with Sarah but I ended up falling asleep waiting.

I don't know about wearing a pin, I guess I just don't notice things like that but I will say for sure, that little Logo of Obama's is hardly an American symbol. I question, Is that a part of his change plan to turn the starts and stripes into a blob of colors? I only ask because you were eager to point out a missing flag lapel pin.

As for the speach, the message was straight talk and the deliverability... well McCain isn't a flamoyant speaker like Obama or fire talker like Sarah. But overall it appealed more to the keen senses of caffenated charged listeners. The message though, was still recieved!

Do you watch C-Span? I heard a lot of Dem's say they were switching tickets.

I feel really bad, I fell asleep at the very end...BUT...the content is EXCELLENT...the delivery was painful...but we have always known that is not his strong point...delivery..He will shine in debates where it is not scripted.

If you stayed awake and listened to the whole thing, he said the sons and daughters of migrant workers are all Americans too. He slammed the concept of protecting our markets by taxing imports. That convention hall was psyched until he started in with his version of reality. Was that speech an intentional sleep aid?

I hear yah jt, it's ominous! I don't know whether it's a calm before the storm or a storm in passing. Definite Contrast from two days ago!

I don't think McCain is the speaker that Sarah is but then he never was and never claimed to be. I did learn more about he and Cindy than I ever knew. I had no idea she was all over the world helping poor people and nations, I'm impressed. As for Mac, I knew he was a POW but to hear some of the details was really horrific.
I do think he'll keep up exposing all the 'earmarks', even more so. He's always done that and we in AZ know for a fact we, as a state, haven't gotten any 'earmarks' because he so against them.
I, personally, don't care alot whether he is a 'great speaker', that's not what we need in the white house, we need some REAL CHANGE.
I do think, based on all the times he went against Bush and disagreed with him, that he will change the policys.......he is still better than the alternative and the more I read about Obama and his muslim connections the more he scares me.

Some individuals prefer discourse at length in a pompous or boastful
bloviating-manner (OBAMA) to any actual sound content (Mc Cain).

Then again, there are Superficial-personalities
and there are Genuine-personalities.

~To Each Their Own~

Alas! ..... You are what you are!

I just watched this and I thought it was delivered like McCain would. He is not as eloquent as Barak so if you expected a glitter covered speech you would be disappointed. I did like his poise when the code pink facist came in, just shows again the level of disgust of some of these Liberal groups.

Jane his reference to Hispanic was to immmigrants not illegal immigrants, I listened to that twice, it is on cox on demand as well as Obama, biden's and palin's. I don't have a problem with that line.

I also thought he got more into policies than Barak so now it is on to the debates.

Nofear, I agree he did reference Hispanics periodically. I refer to the line where he inserted "the sons and daughters of migrant workers" as he named all who are Americans. That is the point on his list where I disagree. His speech was as carefully written as all others, so there's no way he misspoke. If his attitude is that migrant workers are Americans too, that would explain his intent on amnesty.

What is actually manufactured in the US these days? Precious little. Current free-trade policy threatens American manufacturing. For all the jobs going offshore due to free-trade, McCain, like Bush, claims he will retrain Americans to do other jobs. What other jobs? How in the hell can a paper clip be cheaper coming from China than here? I wasn't tuning into the RNC to feel good, I felt great already. Thursday was another load of empty rhetoric except that McCain had skillfully put the crowd to sleep before he started spelling out his platform. Having character does not mean you always know what's best. McCain is still pissing on the wrong tree on a lot of issues. He is not a shoe-in because he has character. He still needs his feet held to the fire.
