Wow, the dude's speech was just down right impressive. I mean, you look at John McCain, you hear his voice, you shrug and go... what else is on TV? But if you pause... for a moment... and take in what this man is saying you suddenly lean in and want to hear more.It's every child's civil right to get a good education... 'bout damn time someone stood up and said it like that. VOUCHERS! Let's finally do it! These children that are stuck in run down schools with a lack of supplies, books, computers, the best teachers, over crowding conditions, violence... these children are AMERICAN CITIZENS that have RIGHTS! A right not to be imprisoned in a failing institution! A right to be able to find a place of peace and understanding and accomplishment! ENOUGH WITH LET'S JUST LET THE SCHOOL BOARD FIX IT!!! They aren't going to! They can't! THE PROBLEM IS TOO OVERWHELMING!!
Give these families a choice to go to the best schools in our area even though they can't afford a house in the nice neighborhoods. What will happen to the failing schools? They will close, be demolished and new ones will be built as the good schools grow and split carrying on the success they have enjoyed.
And that is only one message I heard echoing from the man that isn't debonair, that isn't a rock star, that doesn't whip out his sax to show how "cool" he is. For once, people, let's not vote on emotion. Let's look at integrity, experience, history, backbone!
BACKBONE... Did Obama stand up and speak out when his minister began preaching Anti-American sentiments? No. Imagine what John McCain would do if he would have been in the crowd! Now THAT would have been some riveting video! Sic 'em McCain!There is much more to say about McCain's speech. For me much more to learn about the man that has given me hope for the Republican party tonight. And... I am intrigued with Sarah Palin. So let the race begin, I challenge you to carve out a little time to figure out who this man is. It's tough, I know. I would like to discuss more of this with you now, but I have to clean the kitchen and eventually take a shower.

Well said. I agree!
Thank you for the here here, Sandy. Please feel free to leave your opinion, even when you don't agree, it is valued here!
McCain is character! One thing from McCain's speech that echoes in me is to SERVE my country. He said if you complain about your nation... serve your community/country through enlisting in the armed forces, teaching in a school, ministry, police force, etc. I loved to hear that because I believe if you have a complaint or suggestion for improvement, then you should be a part of the solution... or SHUT UP! Also, what other man could we ask to be our next President who has endured as much as McCain for our nation. He was released from POW camp after 6 years, and loves our nation even more through that experience. He has my vote!
Once again you hit the nail on the head!! We really can't go wrong with McCain and Palin. Obama is a loose cannon with an axe to grind! Obama scares me!
Yes... Serving resonated with me as well. And part of serving is to figure out who the candidates are and vote. Amazing how many people neglect their public duty.
Can't wait to hear more from Palin. She seems like my kinda Momma!
McCain can't even run a Presidential campaign, how is he supposed to run a country? Name one good decision McCain has made during this campaign?
