Where are his speaking advisors.....call him Senator McCain for god sake and you won't mess his name up 50 times next time!!!

First thing is that nobody is worse than Bush at speaking. I agree that McCain isn't the best speaker in the world (and he is up against a guy who is very polished, so it makes him look even worse), but I thought he did well last night. He was calm, made his points and reinforced how Obama just didn't get it about Iraq. He also didn't make faces and try to jump in before his time, like Obama constantly did all night(I thought he looked and came off foolish [obviously I am a bit biased and probably nit picking a bit]). Like I said, I thought it was a small victory for McCain, but really not big/strong enough to sway any undecided voters or steal anyone from the Obama camp.
