B-    too may promises, too little details.  Speech seemed to drag on and on

I thought Gore's was much better in 2000

McCain has been given a HUGE opening if he make a bold VP pick

I think we all agree that Obama has made more moving speeches.  A great speech of any other pol except maybe Bill Clinton...but for Obama, I thought it was flat

McCain has to be breathing a sigh of relief

Alright. I'm not gonna lie. It wasn't perfect but I really, really liked it. The B+ was an attempt to be objective.

Oh yes... and the illegal immigration line should have been left out... unless that was a pander to Hispanics. The truth is, most people feel that it would be better for a mother to be separated from her children than for someone to live here illegally.

Really?Huh?  I don't think anybody with half a heart would advocate separating a mother and child.  But many I overestimate the decency of people in general.

I don't know... it works like this. Most people, if this woman is their maid, or they know them personally, will put family unity first, and even might passionately. But thinking about it in the abstract, their reaction will be, well she should have thought about that before coming here illegally. Many people who will be compassionate on a personal level will be hardheaded when thinking about something in the abstract. If this were not the case, I believe liberals would win almost every election.

actually, this was about the only part of Obama's speech that I agreed with
