This will be remembered for decades, long after Obama’s speech is forgotten (what did he say?).

Agreed. But I would put it a little earlier than that. It started out very slow and tepid, but it got stronger as it went along.

Also, I’ve heard that because of his broken arms as a P.O.W., McCain cannot raise his arms above his shoulders. I was conscious of that during the speech, but he has developed ways of gesturing that are very effective. Body language—like it or not—is important. I thought he did it very well.

Palin’s body language and facial expressions are extreme effective, but McCain also did very well, in spite of his difficulties. They both make Biden look like an idiot in comparison.

As I've said several times since Thursday, McCain won my heart with that speech. How can you not fight for a man like that, even though I thought I would never vote for him because I disagreed with him on so many issues.

Never have I heard a speech told in such a matter-of-fact story telling style that was so gut-wrenching and which ended so positively and powerfully.

The typical MSM "style-over-substance" crowd did not get the impact of this speech on us average Americans.

From here on in, for the rest of my life, every time I see him struggle to raise his arms, I will remember the horror he lived through and the sacrifices that he has made for his country.

I agree. Wholeheartedly.

Here's another plain-speaking soldier, speaking directly to Mr. Obama. Pass it on.

I was not at all aware that John McCAIN was even able to give such an oration as he did. I was somewhat afraid that his oratorical skills would let me down. I can tell you that I was not prepared for the overwhelming success that it was.

At the end, I fell off the couch. I could hardly speak, and the neighbors threatened to call the cops for all then noise I caused.

He rivaled REAGAN on this one, and it was just what we need.

Now, we are launched, and all hell will break loose. I, for one, am ready.

I had the EXACT same thought. I will never forget those words, “Stand up and fight”. I always liked McCain, now I LOVE him, that was the real deal.

Agreed! I just hope the big audience stayed tuned in for the final minutes. What made it so good was its authenticity.

The protester disruptions were annoying. Someone needs to tell these crowds that the people watching on TV cannot hear the protesters and they’d best just ignore it and let security handle.

Taken from the scene in Braveheart, when Mel Gibson was rallying his troops as he screamed, “fight with me.” All McCain had to do was finish it with FREEDOM.
