I am to so far to the right I scare people.

But I loved McCain's speech to death.

Giuliani Speech Was Incredible
I'm been purposely avoiding the presidential candidates and conventions as there are plenty of others focusing on those topics. I've been sticking strictly to issues that I take to heart. However, the speech by Rudy Giuliani last night at the...

It totally sucked. For a political speach it was abismal. For a political speach broadcast live on national television it was a disaster. Fortunately for McCain the print media ignored the delivery and focused on his main points.

"A Nation of Courage" I watched Senator McCain and Rudy Giuliani address the RNC. What a great first night. It is important that McCain endorse President Bush, especially because McCain was Kerry's first choice for Kerry's running mate. McCain's speech was good. He reminded

You Know . . .
He really is quite an ugly man. Is it wrong to say that? I guess it's unkind. Of course, it was unkind of him to suggest that any President—much less this one—would send young men and women into harm's way...

McCain's speech was overscripted - rather than simply applauding at key points, they all stood up and applauded. It felt like a religious service. And while I usually like McCain, even when I disagree with him, the repetition of the 9-11 theme was unseemly; borderline grotesque even.

I missed McCain and didn't have the Tivo queues. Is Moore admitting he's a loser?

Well, it's not like I pick up USA Today when I travel, but I sure as hell will avoid it now.

Whatever we think of the delivery, the fact that he spoke strongly *for* Bush and Cheney is the key thing the pundits seemed to grab onto. Jeff Greenfield on CNN particularly focused on the strength of this opening lineup of McCain and Guliani.

It got better, to be sure, although never very good by convention speech standards. The last part would have been a good Meet the Press appearance but not exactly a stemwinder.
