The speech itself was very good. Now ohn has 7 months IN THE SENATE as well as on the campaign trail - TO PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS

Ok John, I no longer have a choice - so you have my attention -- Now can you convince me to vote for you?

Yesterday, McCain was evil here, now many are falling instantly in line because he throws them a few bones in a speech. McCain was laughing all the way as headed back to his hotel room. Suckers!

Rush and Glenn Becker will be promoting him as the second coming within a month.

BTW, those who are impressed by speeches and flowerly Reaganesque prose might want to recall that "no new taxes" speech in 1988 which successfully whipped the conservatives into a pro-Bush mode during the campaign. Once elected, of course, he gave the suckers a tax increase.

To gain MY vote, his choice of VP will be extremely critical. If that person is a classic American moderate or liberal, I’ll find it nigh on impossible to support McCain.

I can think of many possibles that will turn me on, and many who would turn me off. (Huck is off, BTW) Many have not been mentioned in the presidential campaigning.

Sigh - I’m going to have a very tough, anxious ten months, for sure.
