Media reaction to John McCain's New Orleans speech:
"Folks are going to naturally be comparing [McCain's] style to Barack
Obama, and he's just not as glitzy. ... He's just not a particularly
strong orator." -- FNC's Carl Cameron.
“What McCain is trying to do tonight is identify with basic American values and wrap himself in the flag. … A powerful speech by John McCain.” -- Harold Ford Jr. (MSNBC).
"What about that McCain speech? That was awful. That was pathetic. ... I thought that was one of the worst speeches I've seen him give" -- CNN's Toobin.
"Last I checked this was not a speech-making contest, thank God" -- GOP strategist Alex Castellanos(CNN).
