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.

ISO, no one could handle those interuptions and the chanting. You break the flow and the emphasis of the speech. Code Pink got into the convention using passes of the Ron Paul (interviewed on radio, she said disgruntled republicans) in order to disrupt the speech. The man cant raise his hands over his head. He walks with a limp. He doesnt have the booming voice of Fred Thompson or an actors delivery. Sometimes you have to focus on the words.
As far as friends go in Washington, its the very last consideration. Democrats are in control. He was talking to the moderates, who dont like the divisive nature of politics. Frankly, Id like to see someone throw the trash out on both sides. How many tell all books are written by congressman and senators. Ive yet to find one.

Oh, I also hear that more than 38 million people watched his speech.
