Did you know John McCain was a POW? Oh, right, of course you did. Every single night of this convention has, over and over, reminded us that John McCain suffered greatly after being shot down as a pilot in Vietnam. This video rehashes what I'm sure most Americans already know.
This entire convention -- heretofore -- has been about McCain's military service, essentially. We've heard almost nothing about the economy or the very real struggles many American families are facing. Will McCain address them? It would be a glaring omission, but after four days of almost no talk of the economy in this convention, I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm watching on TV from the press center, and the giant screen behind him is green on the closeup shots. It looks like a green screen you'd see in a TV studio, the thing they put the weather maps on. It's sort of jarring, like there's supposed to be a graphic behind him but they forgot to put it up.
Ah, they just panned out. It's the green lawn of the White House. Maybe it looks good in the hall. But the campaign has the votes of the people in the hall already. It's the TV audience that matters.
