McCain's Speech

I think maybe his dog ate and he winged it. No, that couldn't be because in a few shots you could see the teleprompter off to McCain's right. McCain must be trying to co-opt his view of Obama because he delivered an amorphous, psuedo reconciliatory speech with very few specifics. I thought this is what McCain's biggest criticism of Obama was, change with no plan. Style with no substance. Sorry, McCain that I have to break it to you, but you're never going to out-style Obama in a oratory contest. Obama raised the stakes with his speech because he answered the critique of the right by providing a lot of specifics, especially on the economy. McCain's economic plan was the same rhetoric from the last 8 elections. Cut taxes, cut government spending, and warning everyone that the bad democrats will raise your taxes and create new, more useless government bureaucracies. Something Obama has repeatedly said he won't do for 95% of the people.

I couldn't have wished for a more dog of a speech to ensure that people on the fence don't fall on McCain's side.
