#1 beautiful. I wasn't a McCain fan and I disagree with many of his policies, but I came away from the speech believing that he is a man doing public service for the right reasons. His stock went up for me after watching his speech.

#2 I heard him speak many times before. This was the first time I was ever moved by anything the man said. Well done, John.

Same here but I do trust his judgment and believe that, once he's got the relevant facts, he'll act in a wise manner far more often than not. I tend to think that on some issues, see e.g. carbond cap-and-trade / global warming, he's probably just the victim of a relentless drone inside the Beltway. I expect there's a good chance he'll reverse on those things if he's elected and I expect a shot of he and Palin standing on the dreary moonscape of the North Slope to be the catylist.

#4 Azcat - I've been hoping that too, though I fear it may be a bit of wishful thinking on my part. It really doesn't matter because he will be far better than the blatant marxism and Chicago corruption that Obama will help to further entrench in our political system.

#5 Whether or not it's wishful thinking I still respect, admire, and, most importantly, trust McCain. Obama doesn't pass that threshold test and is IMHO therefore unfit for the office he seeks.
