*THIS* is the elephant in the room that the DNC doesn't want people to see. Oh-Bummer has *not* been able to "close the deal" with his own party, let alone the rest of the voters. He leads a fractured, divided, and bitter party, the "magic" of the hype is gone, and he has only two months to close the deal, with few real opportunities to do so. If he cannot do *really* well in the debates, then he's finished (remember Saddleback?)

I’m going to fight for my cause every day as your President. I’m going to fight to make sure every American has every reason to thank God, as I thank Him: that I’m an American, a proud citizen of the greatest country on earth, and with hard work, strong faith and a little courage, great things are always within our reach. Fight with me. Fight with me.
Fight for what’s right for our country.
Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.
Fight for our children’s future.
Fight for justice and opportunity for all.
Stand up to defend our country from its enemies.
Stand up for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.
Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We’re Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.
Thank you, and God Bless you.
it is classic mccain. The real mccain is at his best at townhall meetings where he can really drive up the crowd.
I will expose those who brought it and YOU WILL KNOW THEIR NAMES—YOU WILL KNOW THEIR NAMES!
that was the best part of the speech. Mccain understands how to use all the tools of presidential power, including the bully pulpit.
mccain needed to tell Americans what he would do, that he understands the economy, that people are struggling (he won’t do a Hannity and say the economy is wonderful when it really isn’t) and that he can deal with unemployment, education and health care instead of just talking about the military or bashing Obama all the time.
He said he wanted to double the child tax exemption from $3500 to $7000. Those are specific concrete numbers that make a real difference in a family’s bottom line and not some vague abstraction. The entire country needed to hear this.
Obama kept saying McCain doesn’t get it, has no specific ideas and doesn’t care about the economy. This is exactly what McCain needed to do.

In Manchester last night, there was just one reporter and one photographer waiting for McCain as his plane -- a white, blue and gold Boeing 737-400 emblazoned with his campaign slogan, "Reform, Prosperity, Peace" -- touched down on the Wiggins Airways tarmac.
The Vietnam War veteran limped as he made his way down the metal stairway, a leather briefcase in one hand and a cell phone in the other, and walked straight into an awaiting Chevy Suburban.

American flags waved in Berlin at the Obama's rally - a display of rediscovered friendship; some 200,000 Berliners turned out for the speech.
"Fortune and Fame
Shot down in flames
Isn't it strange
How fortunes can change
It's one slip away"
