I turned the speech on at about 10:30, watched about 15 seconds of it before snoozing, and turned it off. But here are a couple of comments from a couple of pundits on Charlie Rose after the speech: Halperin thinks the McCain strategy is for Palin to lock down most of the (Bush) red states so that he can concentrate on MI and a couple of blue states without having to waste time and money on the red states that seem to be competitive now. MI is the "key" for McCain, Halperin says. Jon Meachem agrees that MI is the key state. Doris Kearns Goodwin had a nice analogy. McCain is trying to be "all things to all people" in the way LBJ was in '64. She quoted LBJ as saying, "The conservatives think I'm conservative, the liberals think I'm liberal, the independents think I'm independent. It's great, they all love me." If McCain can pull that off, then shame on David Axelrod and David Pfouffe, as well as Obama and Biden. They all think it will be a very tight race. Of course that is what they like as pundits--no one tunes in to a blowout. It looks to me like the debates and the commercials strategy will be all important. Not that that's saying very much<g>.
