McCain’s Big Speech

By Kleinheider Posted on September 5, 2008 at 6:20 am

Chris Sanders on John McCain’s understated, yet ultimately successful, address:

In the end, McCain’s faith is classic American civil religion best summed up in his phrase: “I wasn’t my own man any more. I was my country’s.” The policy specifics still have to be spelled out in the debates, especially with respect to the economy, but McCain showed all the signs of new life tonight, life renewed from a deep love of country.

Funny, considering the RNC has been harping on Obama about the one lacking substance, even though McCain speaks in generalities so broad you could drive a truck through them.
