I can't believe the weak response John McCain is getting as he addresses the National Convention of Veterans of Foriegn Wars today. Either there are only about ten people in the audience or they simply lack interest in John McCain's talking-point lecture today. It's pathetic really. He keeps flashing the obligatory sh**t-eating grin after every line he thinks will get a great reponse--but nothing happens. I wonder if these orchestrated pauses and grins are scripted into the notes he is reading? The part of his speech that tried to create a spike of fear about Russia equal to the Cold War went over like a gas bubble in a space suit. I have heard more of the military is going to vote for Obama, but I never realized how tepid McCain's support was in that area. I can't help but think his brilliant idea to use the Russian incursion into Georgia to boost his ratings as a die-hard war hawk is backfiring. This speech anyway sounded and looked like a huge bust.
