You nailed it. That was my first thought when the speech ended. This time, I feel like the (R) running for president really wants to win. McCain made me feel like he didn’t care whether he won or lost.
Actually McCain’s speech made me fall asleep, at least Romney kept me wide awake. Romney wants to win, so does Paul Ryan, I think putting Ryan on the ticket was the best decision. Ryan brings energy to this ticket
“This time, I feel like the (R) running for president really wants to win. McCain made me feel like he didn’t care whether he won or lost.”
I think you hit it right on the nose about McCain. I’ve long felt that McCain was at a point where having “his turn” to run was more important than winning, and that his legacy mattered more to him than victory. Even Bob Dole fought harder than McCain.
McCain acted like he didn’t even know where the hell he was, let alone why he was there.
He -gave- us Obeyme, IMO.
