A Speech We All Can Believe In

Barack Obama's acceptance speech addressed two critical points that had been sorely lacking in the campaign, especially over the last 3 or 4 weeks: policy specifics and sharp criticism of John McCain.

Now, now, let me -- let there be no doubt. The Republican nominee, John McCain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and our respect.

And next week, we'll also hear about those occasions when he's broken with his party as evidence that he can deliver the change that we need.

But the record's clear: John McCain has voted with George Bush 90 percent of the time.

Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but, really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush has been right more than 90 percent of the time?
