Palin and McCain: The rocker and the crooner

John McCain's speech to the GOP Convention in St. Paul was a heartfelt call to the people.

If Palin rocked them (and she did); McCain crooned them.

It was not a grandiose speech; nor was it particularly rousing (except for the final 60 seconds).

But it showed the character of an extraordinary man.

A man who has gone through more trials and tribulations than 95 percent of those watching.

A man whose unquestionable love for his country has led him to be within sight of the final port of call of an astonishing life.

The grace with which he referred to his oponent, together with the spirit that comes from overcoming adversity, and the courage it will take to stand up to Washington, will I believe, bring new supporters to his campaign and galvanise his current support base.

With Superwoman from Alaska by his side, I think America had better hang on!
