I'm not good at speech's!

BBC news views US media on McCains acceptance speech last evening.

Several commentators note that the speech was somewhat flat, especially compared to rival Barack Obama's Democratic convention finale last week and to his own running-mate Sarah Palin's speech on Wednesday night.

"If you didn't know that John McCain was a Republican, you might think he was running against the Republicans… John McCain is a maverick who has now done what mavericks almost never do: Win. And now he must lead a party while maintaining his independence from it."

"In the end, tonight's speech merely confirmed what many of us knew [all] along: McCain just doesn't have good answers to our troubled economy," says Jonathan Cohn in the New Republic's Plank blog.
"I don't know whether the voters will care about this, but I do know they should."
