Well, that's the end of the Republican National Convention. Quite a night! Quite a message! That's a lot to absorb, but let's let Tom Ridge summarize the big takeaway from four days of McCain's coronation.

[WATCH.]

TOM BROKAW: But the fact is, governor, that you have had eight years of a bush administration and a lot of Republicans in Congress for the last eight years, so why wouldn't the american people say, look they had their shot we're going to change?


TOM RIDGE: Because John Bush - because John McCain is very much his own man...

Hear that? John BUSH. Bet all you people calling him "John McSame" feel pretty stupid now! FOUR MORE YEARS!

Make this in to a commercial and repeat the key phrase like 20 times. Run it everywhere for a week.

Maybe Tom Ridge is just a fan of ex-Anthrax singer John Bush.

I thought Ridge was McCain's best choice for Veep -
experience with the domestic (successful) side of the Bush shock and awe scare tactics - as the first "Homeland Defense" Secretary he can point to the absence of 9/11s and legislative successes (in stripping our Constiutional rights).
help in Pennsylvania - an absolutely critical state for McCain to win (McCain can't win without Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio)
former Governor
pro-choice guy who makes it look like McCain is appealing (NOW) back to the center and has completed his NeoCon / Right Wing binge

Instead John McCain rolled the dice and bet that hurrican Sarah could dazzle everyone for sixty days...

I was at a website where they have a large photo of the movie "Traitor" with Don Cheadle,it was photoshopped and Cheadle was switched with Joe Lieberman.And they have a video of McCain looped and he keep saying stand up fight,fight stand fight, fight..I didnt realize how awkward he looked when he kept saying stand up fight.

John McBush is a prisoner of the right wing. He is so desperate to be President he is willing to say and do anything to win. How sad.

RIP Maverick McCain....

That's a good one. It was probably intentional.
