Me too. But, if they hadn't, we would have missed John's great performance...
That said, McCain did a GREAT job from start to finish. Way better than his debates.
Obama didn't have the same material, delivery, or timing. And his self-deprecating material never hit close to anything substantial (i.e., Wright or Ayers), unlike McCain's reference to his seven houses.
Reminds me of the scene in the movie “Great Balls of Fire” where Chuck Berry is slated to close the show (it was in his contract) and Jerry Lee Lewis during his performance just before Chuck sets the piano on fire. As he’s leaving the stage, Jerry says to Chuck, “Top that, Killer.”
