John McCain's Acceptance Speech Cliff Notes

Last night, I sort of watched John McCain's acceptance speech. I wasn't able to really give the speech the concentration I promised myself I would. I wanted to hear the DNC and RNC acceptance speeches equally. So, today at lunch I re-read the McCain speech. And I scoured it for substance. What I got, when you sort of boil it down, is this message:

I was a POW.
I'm a Maverick.
I fight.
Tax cuts - yes.
Education - yes.
Energy - yes.
Change in Washington - yes.
Vote for me.
Did I mention I'm a POW?
I Fight.

Hmmmm! I was really hoping for more substance, not just a pep rally.
