WTF is McCain doing spending campaign money on an add congratulating Obama? Something tells me that McCain's V.P. pick will be "leaked" shortly after midnight... Now I have to hear McCain next week deliver another monotone speech... I hope Bob Dole is going to speak! :lol

Over 200 years old therefore I have heard every US presidential candidates' speech in existence. Come on you can't seriously believe Obama's speech was so fundamentally different from any other presidential candidate's speech.Shaheed79 said:

So.. they might need to delay it even more.

Hitting your opponent where he is (supposedly) strongest and diminishing that strength has been a very effective tool in modern media politics. You don't even have to beat them down that bad, just shake it up a bit so that people have lingering questions about the very qualities they are running on.
It's what McCain's team has been trying very haphazardly to do all summer with very modest success.

Yeah good points considering Hannah and all the lost coverage it's probably not a great idea to reschedule. What can they do though, rock and a hard place.

Because McCain's foreign policy record is terrible. He's been wrong about every call he's made for the last eight years at a minimum. It's not hard to fight a record like that. The only card McCain has to play is that he was a POW, which is why he plays it in response to nearly every question.
I can't imagine why anyone would be worried about McCain's foreign policy expertise, because he doesn't have any worth talking about.
The man can't tell the difference between Sunni and Shia, thinks Iraq and Pakistan share a border, and his foreign policy advisers are the same people that have wrecked America's reputation with the world, and spread its forces so thin that all we can do about Russia is shake our finger.
What experience are you talking about exactly?

Okay I lean to the left but as much as Faux News' analysis is bullshit, MSNBC is fucked up the other way. One of their analysts just said: "I had to go to the green room so I could weep alone."

Well he has mentioned that he wants to take care of our soldiers, and I highly doubt Obama doesn't understand the meaning of the song, especially after Springsteen lashed out at Reagan for namechecking it. He wants to change America and stop the bullshit that Springsteen speaks of in the song.adamsappel said:
I don't know how you could possibly come to the conclusion that he used it for the same reasons Reagan did.

McCain's ad agency is probably coming up with stuff to do to extract as much money as possible from the McCain campaign before he gets locked down due to public financing. I'm convinced that is a motivator for the fact that they've made sooo many videos that were so scattershot over the last month-get in and cash out while they can.

"You may think that Robert Kennedy would support Obama because of their shared liberal values, but no, because Kennedy had eleven children and, unlike Senator Obama, he was always in favor of drilling."
This (not an exact quote, but it's the gist of it) made me laugh so hard.

And with that I think I'll go ahead and un-retire myself formally from Poli-Gaf.
Good speech. Not his most amazing awe inspiring speech but certainly a tougher yet still consistent with his image of being post-partisan speech. It was the speech he needed imo for the climate of 2008 rather than necessarily the speech that hit the most high notes like his 2004 speech with soaring rhethoric.
Trying to be objective but I thought it was pretty much a home run convention. Whether that reflects in a significant bump or not I'm not sure but I thought it was pretty much one of the most consistent conventions I've ever seen. It may not have had the extreme highs of some but I also didn't think it had a real extreme low. Even the Michelle Obama speech which some think was the weak link of the heavy hitters, I disagree about with that line of thinking. I could care less about first ladies and all that business but I thought she did as credible a job as possible stumping for Obama with that speech.

social conservaties have had it drilled in their head by both their political and spiritual leaders that Democrats are the Great Enemy for decades.

Says the lawyer/politician to the POW military veteran. This one is going to come back to haunt him. damn. who thought THAT was a good idea. You dont talk tough and bring a knife to a gun fight.
