What grade would you give McCain's convention speech?

Question

And what is the grade you would give Obama's speech at the DNC?

Answer 1

Definitely a C-.  It had very few high points, but mostly a yawner. I don't know about anyone but I am totally worn out on hearing about McCain's P.O.W. stories and military experience. It has little to do with running a country. They overplayed it in this convention and by the time McCain got to himself, lol, it was an exhausted topic of discussion. People like me were more interested in how he is going to improve or fix the serious problems that we now face in this country. He should have spent more time on that. I think that will be a topic in the news tomorrow as a legitimate criticism of the speech.

Answer 2

F-

Answer 3

C+. Quite lifeless and vague, but at least it wasn't belittling or insulting like Palin and Giuliani. Those speeches made me quite upset!

Obama a B+ or A-. Wasn't his best, but it worked! It was still amazing, but I've liked other speeches better.

Answer 4

Mccains speech contained no substance. It was a boat load of promises and goals in which he gave no plan for. It was not a brilliant speech in many respects. For one, this speech was meant as a means to get independent voters to change to republican. Compared to Barack Obama's speech you can tell Barack has real PRACTICAL plans that will actually work. However, in respect for Mccain the speech about his life was inspiring however, IT WAS NOT WHAT WE NEEDED. We know that John McCain was a war veteren who was totured. We know that he loves his country. What we do need to know is whether he will make the same mistakes as Bush. Whether he will make a GOOD decision rather than ANY desicion. We need to know how well THOUGHT OUT his plans are. Barack in his speech did attack McCain no doubt. But, instead of Palin speech of namecalling Barack provided working plans as a better way to make change. And just to let Republicans know...McCain has know executive experience just as Barack Obama has no executive experience. McCain failed to show that he will be a president that instead of making A decision he will make a RIGHT decision. That was what was needed in the convention. McCain's arguments were bland and Barack has no need to feel worried about effects of this speech. He has more to worry about Palin and her speech. For those who actually LISTEN to what the nominee's say, Barack Obama has shown an actually plan filled with substance and real time solutions while McCain has not yet even shown that he can make the correct decision. He argues that he makes his own desicion (which is fine) as long as your making the correct desicion. Furthermore, if youve actually read what Palin and McCain actually argue for you will find that some of the issues they argue for are crazy. Palin believes we dont affect global warming and that the future lies in oil not renewable energy. Even McCain doesn't agree with that.

From a political standpoint, from Michelle Obama, to Hilary Clinton, to Bill Clinton, to Joe Biden, to Barack Obama the Democratic Convention was much more thought out and much better at getting what the Democrates need most. The Republican Convention while I wont say was a complete disaster, was not nearly as good as proving what Independent voters in paticular are trying to find out.

McCain: C

Palin: B-

Obama:A-

Biden: B

Answer 5

Obama = C

McCain = B+

Biden = B

Palin = A

Obama did NOT give a speech at the DNC ... he gave a concert in a stadium.

You all wanted specifics McCain gave specifics Obama is still leaving us in the fog. It sounds liek you all just love the high drama of a well rendered speech as oppose to the content of the speech.

Answer 6

Third grade.

Answer 10

Obama absolutely an A

McCain an F

Answer 11

McCain gets 2 Levi Johnstons out of a possible 5.

Obama gets 4.5 terrorist fist jabs out of a possible 5.

Palin gets 4 bridges to nowhere out of a possible 5.

Biden gets 3.5 Amtrak trains out of a possible 5.

Answer 12

I'd give McCain about a B+/A-

It was very emotional but let's be honest, he's not a good speaker.  He was a little confusing (to me) by bashing the republicans fortheir last 8 years.  I mean, he's a republcian and has voted with Bush 90% of the time.  None the less his war story won the hearts of the faithful and defined his candidacy on emotion.

Obama B+/A-

Obama is a far better speaker but he lacks that fire that welds a listener to a politician even if he's reading a phone book.  He put a little of that in there but he'll need more to compinsate for McCain's war stories.  I think Obama was consistant and spelled out his policies fairly well and framed his candidicy on Issues.

It's going to be a tough battle.  McCainwill have to spell out his policies better adn Obama wil lhave to light the fire in people's bellies.
