John Bush McCain Speech Open Thread

What will you be doing during JSM's speech?

Also, interesting news: Sarah Palin attended 5 colleges in 6 years, including a stint in Hawaii.

Update -- It's over. Some thoughts:

  1. It couldn't have been more boring. I don't know if it hurt, but I'd be stunned if the speech helped him.
  2. The visual imagery was terrible.
  3. The speech was chock full of falsehoods, for which he should pay a price in the coming days.
  4. The only time he showed any passion was when he was talking about fighting and war.
  5. He started the speech by praising the Bush presidency.
  6. Update -- another one: Here's a good analogy I heard -- this was something like a lifetime achievement awards dinner instead of an actual presidential campaign speech.

Also, the fact that they had the green screen malfunction (the backdrop was supposed to be a house with a lawn) hurts his argument that he's more competent than Obama.
