7:30pm John McCain says he respects Sen.Obama. He says that they have more in common then they have differences. "We are all Americans and that is an association that means more to me than any other."

7:36pm John McCain talks about how BOTH parties have failed the American people. very interesting not a lot of bashing.

7:41pm McCain talks about helping people find new training so that they can find a new job. Not a new idea. President Bush has basically said the same thing for the last 6 years and there hasnt been a lot of head way.

7:42pm Sen McCain talks about improving schools by creating competition. In other words, parents would be allowed to take their kids to another public school, a private school, and charter schools.

7:45 he just talked about building more nuclear power plants, wind, solar and flex fuels.

7:52pm I realized I haven't really been paying attention for the last 7 minutes.

7:53pm Sen. McCain warns against partisan rancor. He says many politicians go to Washinton to work for themselves - not for you. He will extend his hand to anyone to help move the country forward. He claims to have the record to do it - Sen, Obama, he says, has not.

7:54pm McCain continues to talk about working with everyone to get things done. "I have been an imperfect servant to my country. But I have been a her servant first and always"

7:55 looks like they got rid of the protesters - no more interruptions.

8:01pm looks like he is wrapping up with a narrative about his POW experience.

8:02 McCain talks about service. I like it. "[Serve] a cause greater than yourself"
