In all those years, I'd have hoped to have learned a little more. FratHouse Bat- you can't hang, sister. Back to quilting, PLEASE. Victor- You act as if the biggest challenge facing our American healthcare system is illegal aliens. This is simply not the case, sweetie. Oh and my pockets are not bottomless.

A powerful speech. I've been listening to these things since 1952. This was one of the best. You have all heard of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Douglas was the greatest orator of his time. He kept crowds aroused for hours. How many of you have ever read anything by Douglas? How many of you have memorized and cherished and cried over The Gettysburg Address? There was no applause for that speech. McCain spoke softly. He made you listen. He told a story about himself that convinced people that he is a humble, brave, honorable and dedicated man. I have never seen anything quite like it. He also convinced many that he was the guy to slay the dragons in Washington - for them. Then there's the Russian Bear. There have been many arguments about whether Saddam was a danger or whether Iran will be a danger. The people KNOW that Russia is an existential danger. This election is no longer about Iraq or Iran or Vietnam or anything else. This is about a truly evil monster with enough weapons to exterminate life on earth. The people who don't know will be told by their parents and grandparents and by generations of ancestors that contribute to the family story. McCain showed that he was a warrior - a giant standing against an effete metrosexual. How many remember a line from Obama's speech? How many gave a cheer or applauded the next day? You may not remember a line from McCain either. That's fine. But you'll feel him in your gut the next time you hear Obama. Maybe one of the most effective speeches ever that "the world will little note, nor long remember". Folks, I think it was a great speech. A powerful speech.

McCain spoke softly. He made you listen. He told a story about himself that convinced people that he is a humble, brave, honorable and dedicated man. I have never seen anything quite like it. He also convinced many that he was the guy to slay the dragons in Washington – for them.

Then there’s the Russian Bear. There have been many arguments about whether Saddam was a danger or whether Iran will be a danger. The people KNOW that Russia is an existential danger. This election is no longer about Iraq or Iran or Vietnam or anything else. This is about a truly evil monster with enough weapons to exterminate life on earth.

If they are then you can be a good bleeding heart Democrat I guess. Are your pockets bottomless and do you have a never ending supply of money to give away?

She has proven herself to be out of touch with the real concerns of the majority of Americans many times on this blog. You'll notice that you brought up healthcare and Vic immediately attempted to change the subject to "healthcare FOR ILLEGALS". She's just another paranoid xenophobic hater. Don't waste your time listening to her hateful rhetoric. PEACE Blanca,

As far as healthcare is concerned giving free healthcare to millions of illegals is not helping out and if you think the Democrats are going to do anything about that you are mistaken. They are going to vote to give out more and where is the money supposed to come from? I have never seen a man so out of touch with the citizenry as Obama and so determined to do to us what he thinks is best and actually McCain isn't far behind but I think he is closer to getting it than Obama and I think it showed in his choice for VP and some of the things he said last night. Obama chose another inside good old boy from DC to keep the status quo. And I think that it was Fred who said,"McCain and Palin are going to drain that swamp." And I don't think they mean going up there and subjecting us to endless and costly hearings into the Bush Administration without even so much as a blink at Democrats and their illegal activities.

He certainly doesn't have the "it" factor that Palin and Obama posses. And while Palin's speech rallied the base, McCain's speech was intended to reach those undecided and independent voters. And I agree, Big Dog, I didn't want McCain to play the Vietnam card. I didn't like it when Kerry did it and I didn't like it when McCain did it. It will be interesing to see how the campaign trail goes now. Palin's speaking ability has certainly skyrocketed her to center stage. But she doesn't appeal to moderate voters like McCain does. Those moderates are now where the fight. It will be interesting to see if Palin overshadows McCain. Although I've heard that she cancelled an appearance with McCain this week to return to Alaksa before her son is deployed. Though I've also seen that the event (with Palin) is still on.
