Barack Obama’s nomination speech entitled “The American Promise” has received this point-by-point rebuttal from Team McCain.
FWIW: I thought Obama’s speech was delivered brilliantly (as expected), and will result in a sizable (if short-lived) bump in the polls. After all, the news shifts to McCain and his VP early tomorrow. Furthermore, when analysts pick apart the Obama speech, I think they will find the factual basis of Obama’s attacks on McCain to be meager at best. Obama’s claims to being a bipartisan leader are entirely unfounded by his voting record. McCain’s tendency to buck his own party is well established (torture, spending, Gang of 14, etc.), whereas Obama has voted with his party 96-97% of the time since being in the U.S. Senate.
