The Speech of His Life

Tim Chavez heaps high praises on the Presidential candidate he does not want to win for his speech to the NAACP today:

McCain gave the best political speech of his campaign today, particularly when he referenced how he heard about the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. while he was incarcerated and brutalized in the Hanoi Hilton. I don’t know who wrote his speech — perhaps Ronald Reagan’s wordsmith, Peggy Noonan, but McCain sounded very presidential and reassuring. And those attributes are going to determine the victor in November.

I don’t really want McCain to win. But I have to be honest, so that Obama’s supporters will tell their candidate to get his act together now instead of later. Yes, Obama is up seven percentage points in the latest Reuters poll. But as Tennessee’s Harold Ford Jr. and his panel mates concluded last Friday on former congressman Joe Scarborough’s show, Obama should be much further ahead.
