McCain REALLY needed to deliver tonight, and anyone familiar with his speaking style and past performances may have realized there was nothing really different tonight than anything he's ever really delivered.
He wandered a bit in his speech, never really hitting his stride, and never really hammering home one policy or agenda, and there were still several awkward pauses and facial expressions that his handlers may have winced at, but he was genuine McCain all night, and watching him speak tonight proves why he's still running at Obama's heels instead of being blown away.
Whether he'll get his own polling bounce after this weekend is still likely to be seen, a new CBS poll released tonight shows the race at a literal tie, while just last week Obama enjoyed a healthy 8 point lead in the same poll.
Welcome to the real general election people, starting tomorrow, the real bloodshed begins.
