FWIW, Olbermann, Howard Feinmann, Joe Scarborough and the rest of the panel are all ripping McCain’s speech.

They like Romney’s speech much better. They’re saying that Romney is finally sounding like the man and not the campaign consultant version of the candidate.

UPDATE: Mike Barnicle at around 9:42 said, “a bellman here at the Raddison hotel here in Manchester is happy because McCain read one of his lines in the speech.” Much laughing from the panel and a fake apology from Olbermann follows.

This is a good thing for McCain I think as there’s a knee jerk reaction from Republicans to defend the candidate when the press says dopey things.

UPDATE 2: Jim sees McCain’s speech just slightly differently than the yentas at MSNBC.

UPDATE 3: Rich loved it.

UPDATE 4: Kos goes after McCain as well, but less so than the MSNBC panel in my opinion.
