Great Finish


Here are my initial thought in all their unrefinedness...

The very ending of John McCain's speech sounded almost as if Obama had delivered it. Well not quite. He is not the orator Obama is but at the end I actually had a bit of goosebumpage. It was obviously from a very conservative perspective in that there was plenty of emphasis on being strong and standing up for and fighting for what's right as opposed to Obama's we can all do this together if we work together. Definitely a difference in tone between those two messages but I think they both work for their respective presenters. I didn't hear too much specifics on policies but at least he focused some of his attention back on the American people. And I still think that the majority of his speech sounded more like the acceptance speech for a Medal of Honor than a expounding of what he would do as President for the average American. Overall, though I think this will be politically effective.
