I thought the speech, while decent was poorly written. Too many heroic phrases that McCain spoke as if totally canned and as flat as a pancake.
The words were good, but his delivery was pitiful..punching the wrong words and at the wrong times.

Still, that chick get's yer attention, and while they are really playing up her Alaskan toughness, McCain isn't making any friends in Washington by acting like she is some political bulldog he's bringing in to clean the place up.
