A rather poor speech by McCain.

It was touching to hear him speak about his time in Vietnam, but his "I will do my best" is something best left for a 2nd grade election. Of course he'll do his best (as will his opponent) but tell us HOW you'll do that; tell us what your platform is.

By owing up to the fact that the Republicans fell down on the job (also blaming the Democrats in part of that) in the recent past, did he expect to win over converts? It's him saying, "We fucked up, but we'll try harder".

Hell, Palin spoke better than he just did, and that's not saying much.
