That is one of the most impressive performances of comic frame argumentation I have ever seen.

It was like the Dole Gore humor epiphanies but prior to the election.

This could be quite helpful.

He was simply fabulous. Many a truth is said in jest and his comments regarding Olberman/Matthews had to leave a mark. His closing comments toward Obama proves he is a class act.

I about fell over when he implied that Hillary was pulling for him. I think that line got the most laughs.

He was awesome! And then NObama had to get up and be a huge buzz-kill.

McCain said he couldn’t help feeling that there are
people in this crowd pulling for him (the underdog) ...
got a huge applause and cheering. Then the punch line.

Great set up.

McCain was hysterically funny with flawless delivery.

I loved the jabs at MSNBC, especially Chris Matthews and

Keith Olbermann. McCain said that he used to be a favorite

guest of Chris Matthews, but he was thrown over for another.

McCain said, he couldn't compete with tingles up Matthews

leg, and being a Maverick was the best he could do, because

being a Messiah was above his paygrade.

Obama was shaken up. He kept his head down and read his entire speech.
