Woah. Pat Buchanan, and yes I said "Pat Buchanan", just a moment ago, said:
"I think Obama, look, has cornered the market on change, and this is a change election; he's gonna win it."

Pat occasionally injects truth into his ramblings in order to give his crazy talk more credibility.

Arguably one of the worst speeches in the history of the republic.
If that's McSame's "best," Obama can start measuring for drapes for the Oval Office.

Yup, one of the most boring, cliche, poorly delivered, and badly timed speeches ever. I could only watch about 8 minutes of it and it was pure pain, and not just because of the insipid and trite content. The formula was excruciating: blah blah blah. smile. blah blah blah. smile.
My god, Treebeard wasn't this wooden.

Too bad TPM can only give us threads about Senators Hillary and McCain, and not about our parties nominee for President of the United States, Barack Obama.

Yep. It's a damn shame.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that the next president of the United States of America is Barack Obama of Illinois!

I relish - RELISH! - a debate of a healthy, sane, intelligent, logical, passionate Barack Obama beside this...this McCain person.

You know, Senator McCain really is good at interviews and off the cuff stuff. Speeches, not so much. And green-not his color.
It probably would have been better to sit this one out.

McCain is SO bad at giving speeches, that I'm actually starting to believe he's doing it on purpose.
There's no doubt in my mind that he's going to have a melt down at some point during the general, and my money's on the first debate if he doesn't implode sooner.
Watch out, McCain... Obama can focus entirely on you now.

My husband did a pretty good imitation of what a Hillary/McCain debate would sound like:
HRC: Ba-BA, ba-BA, ba-BA, ba-BAA BAA! Ba-BA, ba-BA, ba-BA, ba-BAA BAA!!!!
JSM: My friends, doo dooo doo doot, doo dooo doo doot, doo doot doot doodo. My friends.
And, repeat.

I couldn't believe when I read McCain was going to give a speech the same night as Obama. Normally not a good idea - even for decent speakers but tonight when Obama is fired up, ready to go and McCain one of the worst speechers in political history?!? The GE can't possibly be this easy.
Even republican pundits thought this was a train-wreck. McCain is either fearless or incredibly stupid. Or both.

Maybe this is how he plans to woo HRC voters - by taking hits so she looks good. He was so bad he made her speech look inspiring and rolicking.

I thought it was one of her best speeches, in terms of passion and life. Perhaps that's why.

So should we talk about Obama's speech here?

I've read others who compare McCain to Grandpa Simpson (yelling at cloud) or Cotton Hill (yelling at anything & everything).

Gramps is so screwed.
He'll never even know what hit him.

Bob Dole, eat your heart out. There's a new firebrand in town!

He definitely is in the early stages of dementia. I'd love to know what the media on his bus have seen/heard about his memory problems but aren't telling us

Does anyone know when McCain first scheduled this speech? The thought just occured to me that there was no word about this until after Obama decided to speak from the Excelon center.
I am wondering if Obama tweaked his nose enough that he tried to steal some Obama thunder. If so - Obama is bloody brilliant and I hope he keeps it up!

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling.

Yes, precisely!
...well, except for the part about "the crowd,"

As I wrote in aother post on TPM, it's STUNNING how that at this point in the election, the McCain campaign is seemingly playing defense to the Obama campaign which is dictating the pace of the game.
I'm trying to keep my hopes and expectations in check but considering that Obama only won the nomination LAST NIGHT, things should only get better for him and worse for McCain now that Obama can concentrate 100%.
