Comment: What do you think about what is happening at the convention?

By Dave Greber

Staff Writer

Thursday, July 17, 2008

CINCINNATI — The differences would be staggering some said, and even members of his own political party felt their presumptive presidential nominee would be an afterthought.

Those were among the views before Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took the stage Wednesday, July 16, during the 99th annual National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's National Convention at Duke Energy Center.

They were not far off. Television cameras caught people in the audience during his speech reading newspapers and even dozing off. Overflow rooms — which were packed when Sen. Barack Obama spoke before nearly 2,900 on Monday night — weren't even used, according to NAACP officials. The line of eager audience members for the Democratic Party's presumptive presidential nominee had stretched for nearly a city block. The audience for McCain trickled in — even after he began speaking at 11:30 a.m.

But McCain spoke with vigor to the crowd of nearly 2,000 NAACP delegates, most of whom — based on the response his opponent received Monday — have made their mind up to vote another way in November. Applause was sometimes timid.

"I am a candidate for president who seeks your vote and hopes to earn it," McCain said. "But whether or not I win your support, I need your goodwill and counsel. And should I succeed, I'll need it all the more."

Then McCain did something very different from the Obama. Following his nearly 25-minute speech, McCain grabbed a wireless microphone and took questions from the audience.

It was a move that surprised those in attendance, especially those who were already making their way toward the exits.
