I felt the opposite, but i cant knock you. If you want to vote for obama then go ahead. In my opinion obamas speech was weak and the same old garbage. McCain maybe long but full of the truth, honesty and a change we need.

Obama's speech last Thursday made me cry. I was expecting at least a little emotion from the Republicans. Where are their hearts?

The best part of McCain's speech was highlighting Bush's abysmal failures over the last eight years.

A change? Someone who voted with Bush 90% of the time is the "change we need"?

Uh huh.

Amen!

I'm going to vote for McCain but I have to admit that I usually get bored with his speeches. I didn't with this one. I was mesmerized by his story and how he used his transformation as a POW to challenge ALL Americans to work for our country in whatever capacity. I thought this speech was a lot more poignant than usual.

I have to admit that it tugs at my heart to see him campaigning when he can't raise his arms, permanent damage from torture. And I hate it when trashy people yack about how old he looks and how awkwardly he moves. I don't care whether you admire him or not, but this man gave his all for his country.
Nice post.

Nuh-uh...the best part was the balloons, signifying his speech was finally over.
