I am with you Shauny! It is definitely going to be a huge plus to his campaign, I think, but I am sure a little backlash as well. I guess McCain has already responded negatively (of course).

I don't know if I'm ready to go that far. None of the polls show him even garnering 50% of the vote nationally in the US. Several have him in the low 40s, though still leading McCain. He's really not that popular back home, even though the Euros certainly do love him.

But I think you may have a point on the globalization talk. Depending on the coverage it receives and whether McCain chooses to use it, it could easily end up coming back to bite him with the independent vote.

The two acts were Reamonn and Patrice, or so I've been told. I am not familiar with either of them.

As for the speech itself, I agree. His speech was very likely just intended to cater to the crowd and, to be honest, I'm not so sure that globalization talk you mentioned is going to go over that well back home.

On the contrary, for his supporters, this is EXACTLY the speech we wanted to hear.

Oh I can't wait til November!

I agree with you on that count. For his supporters, it certainly is the type of speech that they want to hear. But moderate Dems and unaffiliated voters? I'll wait to see the poll numbers over the next week or two.
