The first 55 minutes were a yawn. The last five minutes were very good.

I thought he did well throughout. The video beforehand was very effective also.

I was expecting to find kudos after kudos on this thread! A great speech! The ending gave me goose bumps! Awesome delivery!

I loved his perspective on how his service in VietNam didn’t make him worthy of the Presidency, but put him in debt to the nation.

If you thought they were a yawn, I have to respectfully disagree.

It was not an attack speech, and it should not have been. It was not a speech that will be talked about for generations, but it was a very very solid speech, and it will play well.

He showed himself, and why he was on that stage, and it was not a cult of personality like Fauxbama, it was about service.

I don’t agree. I think he got off to a slow start; of course thanking his wife, mother and so on; but he touched on the important issues; showed how he is far different from Obama and showed his love for his country. He might not be a great orator or as charismatic as BO but that guy gives me the willies with his columns and all - I imagine his next stunt is to come riding in on a donkey.

I agree. Palin overshadowed McCain.

Well if you are an ADD child who cannot pay attention to anything more serious then a video game, that is true.

However the adults here realize this is not some sort of made for TV movie but serious business
