it was an awesome excpnieree. On a similar note, I think that was the best speech he gave through this campaign. I gained back a lot of the respect I had for him back in 2000, but lost during the last few years and especially during this campaign. I think that is very telling that both candidates in their respective speeches spoke of uniting behind commonality and working together for the good of our country, far too much emphasis is placed on “the base” on both sides. The American people spoke and showed that we are largely a nation of moderates, with lunatic fringes on both sides. Obama actively went after moderate voters, and they largely voted for him. I think that if McCain had focused on his strengths with moderate voters, instead of trying to drum up support amongst the “base” he would have done much better.
