Is it just me, or could John McCain's speech have been any more worthless last night? I literally could not get through it and ended up tuning out, probably less than half way through based on how long I hear it went on.

I was in the building on Wednesday for Sarah Palin's exciting speech, which I wrote about yesterday, but I am so glad I got out of town and didn't stick around for that mess last night. What a letdown...it's a shame McCain couldn't keep the energy going. Instead of seizing on Palin's magical moment and finishing the convention with a bang, it looked to me like he did his best to pop the balloon.

Suggestion to the Senator: fire your speechwriter, hire Palin's. Or just stand there looking heroic and let her do the talking if that's the best you can do. Ugh...so frustrating...
