You sure got the scars to prove it....mental ones !!!!!!

McCain is just BORING!

This man has been in Washington for Years, He supports Bush policies and just not smart enough to be President.

Being a War Hero and a mainstay in Washington does not qualify him to be President.

No to MCSame/Pa in

the most boring speech I've heard in a long time and i am an independent i mean come on this guy is telling me all this but what about if democrats win the senate and the house of representative plus both candidates forgot there is two millions of puertoricans in the USA and none of them have mention how are they going to tackle the island statue

This is the dullest, least inspirational, most substanceless acceptance speech ever made by a presidential candidate. At least the disruptions gave the event some life.

I'm watching McCain's speech, and every single sentence he says, no matter what he says, relevant or irrelevant, the crows applauds...what kind of speech is it?

GO FOR IT GUYS!!!! JUST LIKE IN 72!!! PROTEST THAT OLD KOOT!!!!!

They had protesters at both convention lets not forget that but, his speech so far, has really impressed me. I'm glad he is talking about the issues all this week before now they have only attacked O'bama. Thats the kind of leader we need but, right now it's up in the air who I'm voting for. I supported O'bama but this speech is talking my language I'm waiting on the debates now before deciding.

He got booed?!

Wow! I'm not even watching...sucks for him and for us millions of americans whose jobs have been lost due the republican party bad leadership and John McSame 90% endorsement of George Bush!

NOT THIS TIME!!!!!

LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO DETAILS FOR HIS PLANS!!!!! TERRIBLE SPEAKER!!!! these people seem programmed to clap... talk about drinking koolaid!!!! i've never seen such blatant lies and misrepresentation in my life!!!!!! and what's this... now he's trying to be the change candidate? trying to sound like obama???????? NO WAY NO HOW NO MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

OBAMA FOR PEACE!!!

ummm...to quote a famous TV commercial

WHERE'S THE BEEF?? I hear empty promises with ZERO plans.

McCain is doing great! He is telling details of what he wants to do as President of the United States! Go Get 'Em John!

Wow, his speech is horrible.

I'm noticing there is no people there beside old white people. this is terrible I see why they aren't showing the protestors that's more exciting

McCain is asking Americans to FIX the problems his party has created the past eight years. This is not change. More of the same.

Yeah?

Why I'm sure he will be ordering another "surge". What is so noble about a surge in an illegal invasion – just a license to murder more innocent people. Thoroughly disgusted that you even allow this senile old man speak let alone cover his speeches. "The surge worked; the surge worked; we got to kill more of them Iraqis; great were fixing those Islamist terrorists; kill more children, kill more babies, kill more women;" Good G-d already – he is just trying to relive the Viet Nam war that he lost. Warmonger of the first order.

I am very afraid of the picture he is painting!!! God help us if he actually wins!!!

The last time the republicans bullied the media from investigating their actions, we ended up with a messy war in our hands. This time the republicans are bullying the media from vetting Palin and questioning the obviously questionables. This is the media's chance to make up for their screw ups from last time. They better grow a back bone.

I was surprised to see Sen. McCain embracing President Bush's administration instead of telling the American people what his plans would be–not a good move for him.

not only do we view rebubs as dividers, we know it

he will divide the country and he is so boring. keep saying the same stuff he said befor

Where is McCain's flag pin on his lapel?

John McCain/Republicans, divisive? Nahhhhh, really???

maybe it was staged he did have great words. I believe the He should have run for presidency like 15 yearsago. He has love for the country no doubt. But having sarah palin as a VP was the worst choive ever.....

"Republicans are corrupte" John McCain....He said it himself!!!

Just like the GOP silence the protesters because its the GOP that has failed the American People and the American Worker.
I hope you will show that part of the Protesters and even interview some of them on CNN.
Lets get their side of the story thats what a News Network should do.

it has been said that the issues have not been addressed as yet within the RNC but in my belief only one person can effectively do that and thats presidential candidate John Mccain. after all its him who is running for the white house not his friends, family or supporters

Protests will continue to ramp up anywhere McCain and Palin are, especially since they'r right wing nutjobs.

In this day and age we have attempted book bannings, abortion rights removed and no real economy solutions in sight.

They're on their way out. The GOP caused these problems, they can't expect reasonable people to believe they are the solution.

McCain seems to be stumbling along with his delivery tonight.

If I were McSame, I'de pay especially close attention to whats going on in Alaska with troopergate and Palin's extramarital affair. The National Enquirer is hard at work over there. They were the ones that uncovered the Edwards scandel.

GO OBAMA/ BIDEN 08'

Sorry but McCain can do nothing but divide us, he comes across as disturbed and a war monger. The man really is out of touch – I could never vote for him and the token blonde on the ticket.

This is sad to hear but he should know that americans are angry and want REAL change. Unfortunately, he isn't change especialy after this week. He has done wrong with the democrates and Obama and people are angry. There are others that are angry of Washington as whole and want the war to stop. Whatever the reason was, it still makes me sad to see our country so divided. Thanks Bush, look at the mess you are leaving. I hope after November the country could unite.

I see, Cheney and Bush now have a new name – they are called "some Republicans" now

Oh I see McCain is going to be a man of change by doing the same things the Republicans have always done. Wow thats something...

You cannot have a convention that have been bitter in tone and full of personal attacks without any substance, and think that people will not become upset. The GOP set themselves up for the protestors. Collecting more and more along the way! Imagine what will happen if they take office.

y isnt he wearing a flag pin... i dont think he is patriotic enough...

The people at the convention listening to McCain, who has yet to state one specific plan, seem like sheep. I don't understand these people. And what is with the screen behind him? A flag? Fields of grain? Seriously?

Mc Cain is not believable....

This is a terrible speech. If Palin's litmus test was the speech, McCain should be at the bottom of the ticket or away from it all together. GOP should throw this one and put Palin up against Obama in 2012.

ARE WE SCARE YET

His acceptance speech is painful to watch, he's lucky his audience knows when he's finished delivering a point (indicated by applause), because I sure don't! This is the same old talking points... "I will open new markets" = "I will continue to outsource American jobs overseas and American employees will rise to the challenge... and if they don't who cares..."

"when you've lived in a box"?????

REALLY???? Are you kidding me??? So is every prisoner in America getting "presidential experience" at this moment?

Apparently being a prisoner and living in dank boxes is what you need, because that is all the intro showed. I guess that is why he wants to continue the war in Iraq and torture.... he is just making them good future leaders by keeping them in boxes.

Leave it to the liberals!!! Did you see any NORMAL PEOPLE (AKA Republicans) bothering Obama during his speech?

Suddenly McCain is concerned about the economy. Isn't he the guy whose main adviser said that Americans were whiners? That the only recession happening was an imagined, mental one?
I feel as if this speech is damage control meant to undo what Palin and Guliani did last night with their sarcastic, ugly rhetoric that truly is the hallmark of the Repulican attitude.

Given how cynical, and somewhat paranoid, I am of the Republican party due to the last 8 years and the way people like Karl Rove have infiltrated it, it would not surprise me one iota if the Republicans *planted* protesters in the crowd to (1) try to make Democrats look bad (2) garner McCain some sympathy votes.

Seriously, how do you really know they were legitimate and authentic protesters - and how would even a few of them get in there?

this is the worst speech ever. this is the best the gop got

STOP THE CORRUPTION AND VIOLATIONS IN OUR CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS.

WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICAN RIGHT WINGED VALUES??

WE THE PEOPLE MUST RECLAIM AMERICA!

VOTE OBAMA 08

I wasn't going to. I am sick of CNN's interference. But I had to listen: to "John McCains" Speach... CNN will not win... They will die, with their Choice "Barack Obama"...

The Republican Booing sheep thing is kind of creepy.

I hope Americans listening to this realize that he is outright lying about several of Obama's positions: just check out Obama's website if you don't believe me.

CAN YOU SEE JOHN MCCAIN'S FLAG PIN?

I'M WATCHING HIS SPEECH AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT IF HE WEARS ONE OR NOT.

Exactly when was Roosevelt a Republican?

confused in Los Angeles

Yes he will–McShame will divide this country and ruin it in a way that even Bush didn't–GO PROTESTERS!!!! (And what a terrible speech McShame is giving.)

As an independent, all I see is disrespect from a radical side. It turns me off to their cause, as they cannot communicate it in a way that's intelligent or respectful.

I think this aspect will help McCain, not hurt him. It does not make me see him as divisive.

McCain I am sorry but it is over. Sarah was supposed to be your ace card but the democrats have the joker. Game.

McCain's looks mad!!!! hehehehe Joked the first couple of times, but was about to lose his cool! Loved it.

Is this speech about Palin or the American people???

So far, this speech is a disaster. Is this supposed to swing independents? The Dem's criticism about lack of concrete solutions in their rhetoric is valid. I thought McCain would do it tonight to quell the critics, but he's just spouting false rhetoric again.

There were protesters? I'm sorry I must have been sleeping...oh yeah, there's drool on my shirt...I'll stay awake for the resstt offf iiiiiittttt...zzzzz....

DOWN WITH THE G.O.P.!!! DOWN WITH SABRE RATTLING FASCISTS TYRANTS!!! Continue the unrest! WE DON'T WANT THESE PEOPLE ANYMORE!!!

ONE NATION

The results r in Bill. I know a great speaker who is elegant, considerate, authentic, and honest and his name is Barack Obama.
Mr. McCain you are no Barack Obama!

Part of the new era in politics was offered for the past few days. Different insights of real people's moods and aspirations was given freely and unconditionally! All the speakers have misused words and at the end it showed their true colors of great actors and not true agents of change. And all I can honestly say, when one's words are misused in such ways, experience has shown me an outcome of a real deficit in experiencing change which then translates into a real loosing battle that can last longer than we had in mind; except this time around we know the deadline!

Well I thought he liked chatting in the TOWN HALL approach. good Luck!

OH please
blah blah
blah
blah
schneider go take a walk in north minneapolis, or frogtown in saint paul

then you will see why we can not have another republican in office
and WE CAN NOT
afford more CNN reports like yours

go away

Considering how boring the speech is, one can only hope there are more protesters embedded in this crowd. Please post this!

I am a democrat who is solidly behind Obama and never would vote for maccain but those protestors are just messed up.

You complain about your boss not doing his job. You notice he's only working to fatten his pockets with big oil payoffs. He fights all the time with the smaller companies instead of the bigger company that has hurt him the most . Your have not received a raise and you may lose your job because the boss is now outsourcing the jobs. You are about to lose your home. The boss has so many houses he can't count them. The company you work for has not turned a profit in years and has low approval ratings. The boss distributes a company wide memo that reads " I really don't know much about the economy." The boss threatens to release the pitbull on if you keep WHINING. You have put up with his bullying ways for eight long years. Finally your work contract is ending with your boss. As you think about your family's future you ask yourself "Should I continue working for this creep or should I CHANGE employers? ".

It's that simple America. It's time for a change and YOU know it.

ANCIENT PROVERB: Don't let your pitbulls run loose with the moose on the White House lawn.
