The best presidents IMHO haven't been great speech makers. Eisenhower was a terrible speech maker, so was Truman.
I remember how estatic the (media said the public) was about Mario Cuomo's speech to the Dem convention back in 1984 on behalf of Mondale, how disappointed it supposedly was with Reagan. How Michael Dukakis was a great speaker and how ineffective was Bush 41. Guess speeches aren't everything...
McCain will be just fine...can't wait for the debates!
