McCain's Speech

I found McCain's speech a little dry in a chaotic atmosphere. He clearly used his experiences in Vietnam as a major component to show his cause for running for president. He firmly asserted that a proper presidential candidate, or even a respectable American should put his country first. He told his story to show how he himself made that revelation. He outlined his plans, which I found to only be somewhat different from Obama's, but different enough to argue against those. He seemed to have a bit of trouble controlling the crowd, which made his speech somewhat hard to follow. I did find him to be a good public speaker, however; he just wasn't the best.

His audience was somewhat reserved when you looked at them, but when it came to the dynamics of the speech, it seemed as though they interrupted McCain to much. I know that its inevitable for this type of thing to happen- it happened for Obama- but it was almost to the point where the crowd was too excited to let McCain get a word in. I was a little bored with it too toward the middle, but I can't really put my finger on the reason. I found his points to be fairly solid, and his story was gripping. I just couldn't really get into McCain's speech like I could with Obama's...
