Admittedly, John McCain's acceptance speech didn't come close to that of Sarah Palin the night before. But she was a hard act for anyone to follow. What he lacked in eloquence, he made up for in confidence and determination. He acknowledged President Bush without actually naming him, thanking him for his vigilance in defending our country from another terrorist attack. The nature of this election year has forced the Republican nominee to distance himself from the two-term party leader, but it was fitting that McCain at least gave credit where it was due, much to the chagrin of the liberal media.
He gave Barrack Obama more credit than I would've expected, telling him that he had McCain's "respect and admiration" and "[d]espite our differences, more unites us than divides us." McCain was much more magnanimous than Obama could ever be to an opponent. Of course the CodePink wackos camped outside the convention hall had to interrupt his speech early on. (By the way, where did Chris Matthews and his MSNBC cohorts stage their post-convention shows? In the convention hall like all the other networks? Of course not! They had to pander to their liberal and anti-war audience outside who cheered Matthews' every word.)
McCain shared his vision for America and reputed Obama's claims that he "didn't get it" regarding the plight of many Americans in today's economy. Rather than focus simply on the way his speech was delivered, read the text for yourself.
