LAT critiques McCain speech

John McCain's speech last night was OK but didn't include some things the LAT wanted to hear, according to today's editorial. McCain probably didn't include LAT editors among those he was trying to convince.

McCain's speech was weak, and in some places is was boring and repetitive. Overall, is was OK but considering how long McCain has been giving speeches he should have done better. Both the delivery and the speech itself needed improvement.

McCain could and should hire better speech writers. And he might ask whoever trained Sarah Palin for help on delivery.
