You can't allow your minions to attack the opposition in a particularly ugly way one night and then profess to respect him the next. Ryan, I was struck by the same glaring contradiction you were.

Similar to my thoughts David.

But in order for it to work, he has to make the country forget what he's said for the last 2 years, and what his president has done for last 8.

There was a hint of the themes from the McCain of 2000, but overall the speech felt boring and rambling. More telling than the speech, however, was the contrast of McCain's message with the partisan rancor of the past two nights - I don't think it works to have McCain claiming he'll be bi-partisan after the attacks from other speakers. The fact that the crowd's biggest cheers were on the drilling issue and at any hint of a slam on Obama underscored this point.
