I gotta tell ya, If you wanna get an even higher pick-me-up, nothing's better than lurking over at Free Republic right now. Here's a nice cross-section of a bunch of the comments from Obama's speech:

I work full time in public relations. Let me tell you..this is not the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s...this is the age of the Internet, split second media sound bytes, and IMAGE. Obama has a fire lit right now that McCain can’t even touch.

This is a going through the motions and nothing else. The GOP selected McCain because he had earned his dues just like Bob Dole.

We have lost already. I am not one of those doom and gloom people either. McCain can’t draw flies from shit. He is boring. He is scripted. He is swarmy. He is arrogant. He is cocky. He is angry. He is NOT going to win.


Can't draw flies from shit? Wow, that's bad...

WOW! Obama KICKED McCain’s butt. McCain is in trouble. He can’t speak - he is so old that it is turning off voters - Obama has youth/looks/speaking abilities.

McCain better get his act together. His speech sucked tonight.


Good luck on getting his act together. With that Frankenstein "smile" of his, he's got a REAL uphill slog...

Obama has a throng of thousands who show up to hear his speech.

McCain has a throng of a few hundred who showed up to hear his.

(Is the McCain speech available on video yet? I missed it, but from the posts, it was anything but inspiring.)


Here's the response:

You don’t want to listen to it- it was embarrassing (though he did get in some shots at Obama and “change”)Better to read the transcript..some of what he said was good- his delivery was simply terrible.

Obama scares the crap outta me. Seriously.


There were LOTS of posts saying to just "read" the speech due to how bad McCain delivered it...

McCain’s speech was so horrible it had guests at dinner laughing at him and the pathetic crowd response and message. This is an old tired cranky man whose time has passed.

The GOP is such a mess for putting this garbage up there. Obama is talking to 22,000 screaming people right now and McCain had what looked like 2 maybe 300 people barely clapping.

This could be a rout.


22,0000 (32,000 actually) to 300...hmmm...yep, sounds like a rout.

Folks, I think we are gonna have to cling to our guns and bibles alot in the future...


This was my fav line I think...start clingin, freepers!



And the bottom line...

McCain was terrible - just terrible.

It’s going to be a loooonnnngggg 4 years...
