McCain Is A One Trick Pony
McCain's acceptance speech went on for nearly an hour, made no policy proposals and was wildly unfocused. He yammered on about the war in Iraq and fear-mongered for awhile, but never really addressed the economy, which is what Americans care about. Using the unpopular war in Iraq was a huge misstep. The early part of the speech was interrupted by protesters, with one unfurling a banner that read "You Cannot Win An Occupation." Amen to that.
From the giant flag waving behind him on the screen to blowing half the campaign budget on balloons and confetti, the night was strong on patriotism, but short on ideas. This isn't 1941...it's the 21st century and McCain is not the man to lead us into the future.

There was all this weird stuff about reform... as if the Republican party is the only one qualified to repair the damage the Republican party inflicted on the country over the past 8 years.
The tone was comical. I couldn't help but think I was watching the compelling story of Biff Tannen (Back to the Future II) and the amazing rise of Biff McCain and his creation of BiffCo
I can not wait for the debates.
