A clever performance

Justin Webb | 06:16 UK time, Friday, 29 August 2008

He brought it off. I thought at one stage that the Doric columns (if that is what they were) might fall on him (metaphorically) but they did not. He is too clever for that. His supporters and those sympathetic to him are breathing a sigh of relief and can be optimistic that the speech might really assist his cause, as the New York Times seems to believe.

Old versus new. That was an interesting theme as well and, if they handle it carefully (no bashing grandpa), it could be a rich seam.

As for this - could they perhaps just miss the Bush-Cheney bit and then carry on? What a shame that would be for John McCain.
