I will say one thing, it included everything the critics said Palins speech lacked. Her’s they said lacked substance, but was very well delivered, while his was all substance but was at times was a little dull. She attacked Obama with a passion, which we all loved and the critics thought was over the top, while McCain for the most part was easy on Obama.
Thats the whole point of McCain / Palin.
Plain fires up the base. McCain makes appeals to undecided voters.
