POWER LINE TODAY:
The convention, one more thoughtI don't know whether anyone whose vote is up-for-grabs continues to watch a convention after the presidential nominee finishes his speech. However, the ensuing celebrations at the two just-completed conventions were revealing.
At the Democratic convention, Obama and Biden remained on the stage with their families, basking in the glow of mass adulation. After several minutes of this, the two candidates and their wives came forward for what I called "one more bow. . .before they ascend to the heavens."
Last night, McCain looked rather uncomfortable on stage during the celebration. Before long, he descended into the crowd to shake hands. Only then did he look at ease.
The contrast could not have been clearer, and I think it tells us a good deal about the two presidential candidates.

THE DRAMA OF MCCAIN'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, AND HOW IT CONTRASTS WITH THE THEATRICS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMABarack - a man of absolutely no accomplishment aside from knocking off Hillary - spoke in a HUGE stadium in front of a pseudo-temple seemingly dedicated to his massive ego and to the Dems' massive denial.
McCain - a man of enormous accomplishment - spoke from a modest podium on a proscenium which extended right into the audience.
And when McCain was through, he waded into the crowd: a man of the people, for the people and by the people.
That says everything.
