McCain Gives Lousy Acceptance Speech
Obama Closing Gap In Nail Biter With Clintons


ProConPundit War Room-8:30 p.m. Heartland Time


Lest the ProConPundit's endorsement, deep respect and adulation for John McCain be seen as lacking any objectivity at all, let me be clear: he gave a LOUSY acceptance speech in NH. It was too long and, as Howard Fineman pointed out, it sounded as though every adviser McCain ever had wrote one paragraph--each disconnected from the other--and McCain read them all. That speech will redound to his detriment moving forward. It was an old fashioned speech from a guy who does great on the stump and off the cuff.

Just as I write this, Obama narrowed the Clintons' lead to 2000 while it has widened again to 4000 with 46% of the vote in. It's still too close to call, but the Clintons' for certain runaway defeat will not happen, at least not tonight. She is holding on to her lead and I am having a hard time believing that she will not prevail--tonight.

Note: You may wonder why the ProConPundit has employed the plural use of Clinton, rather than singular. From now on, I will do that as it is clear that Obama is running against both CLINTONS.
