Very briefly, what stood out for me was the dedication with which Obama brought back to the fore the need to strengthen the U.S. science and technology effort. Incredible that he mentioned it, two to three times, at moments when the issues was foreign policy. Regarding McCain, what really jumped out was the sincerity of his concern for the post-war America.
Still, I am always left to wonder (ala Wilson): if we spend it all defending American abroad, will there be anything left at home that is worth defending?
