This video, which assembles clips from McCain’s speech in Louisiana and political commentators’ reactions to it, speaks for itself. McCain tried to steal some of Obama’s spotlight by scheduling his own speech on the same night that Obama clinched the Democratic nomination for president. What actually resulted was an incredibly obvious — and unfavorable for McCain — comparison between the McCain speech and Obama’s uplifting and inspiring speech on the same night. McCain got his spotlight, but it ended up being a harsh one. Take a look.
Thanks to Talking Points Memo for this video, and Frank Rich for writing about it.
