Obama needed a memorable moment to break the race open and he didn't do it. I thought he would, and I am a little surprised he didn't deliver the speech of his life.
What others are saying...
Tomasky: "Dull and pedestrian speech..."
Krauthammer: "One of the emptiest speeches I have ever heard."
Kurtz: "Whatever afterglow it created may soon fade as voters again confront the realities of the shaky economy, and the fresh unemployment figures due out Friday morning."
Rubin: "It would have been better if he had not spoken."
WaPo Editorial Board: "If Mr. Obama has a plan, Americans who listened Thursday don’t know how he would achieve it."
Noonan: "It was stale and empty. He is out of juice."
Brooks: "The speech was dominated by unexplained goals that were often worthy, but also familiar, modest and incommensurate with the problems at hand."
Carville: "Not the best speech of the convention."
The Atlantic: "A perplexingly lifeless convention address..."
Fournier: "Why Obama's great speech fell short."
Romney Ryan can breathe a sigh of relief. This race stays close. And now we're in the home stretch.
The Romney campaign has announced a massive "carpetbombing" swing state ad campaign starting tomorrow. Now the fun really starts.
