I definitely think he should've been harder on the past 8 years. Too subtle. The audience may not have liked it, but hell it's not like any of them would switch to Obama no matter how much he downed Bush. The speech was an overall success I think, made me like him a lot more personally. I think that speech is going to play a big part in whether or not he wins. The republican voters do need to take the hit and realize Bush's administration has been a failure, and I honestly do think McCain would make great improvements with his bi-partisan attitude. We'll see how it goes. That speech may have swayed me to vote for him instead of not voting at all.
