McCain is a horrible speaker — he should fire his speech writer. Not all the media were saying good things. The man can’t speak — it was simply the delegates reaction to him speaking that gave it energy. I teach 9th graders and they had to compare Obama and McCain’s speeches. They were ready to lock me in the closet permantley after having endured an hour of McCain. He barely touched on any of the important topics. His pat answer was simply Obama will raise taxes, which of course would get a rise out of Republican Neocons. I don’t make judgement calls in class but let the students. Most classes are running 95% for Obama in mock election polls, and this is in Utah. If only their parents were doing the same!
