I know i am not objective, but is it me, or is he twitchy and nervous? I think this speech sucks.
He seems to be talking fast, often through the applause, which is unusual.
I think it's a smart tactic on their part to just hammer home how "tough" they'll be. I think they saw that they had little chance if they didn't try to give people some degree of confidence in their ability to fight the WOT. To many people out there, including Democrats, this is a one-issue election - the WOT. Hell, it'll be enough to convince the Andrew Sullivans of the world.
But I'm also shocked that he won't mention gay rights or abortion rights. That will piss off many on the left. Enough to switch to not vote for him, switch to Nader, etc? Who knows.
Then again, I wonder just how many "undecideds" are watching tonight.
