McCain Makes Surprise Appearance

As was leaked earlier today, John McCain made a surprise appearance onstage at the RNC tonight -- much as his Democratic opponent Barack Obama did last week at the DNC after VP nominee Joe Biden's speech.

McCain asked the crowd, to loud cheers, "Don't you think we made the right choice for the next Vice-President of the United States?"

The lack of any strong closing remarks, or even an invitation to return tomorrow night, made the whole appearance seem a little stilted.

I was struck by how old and befuddled McCain looked standing with Palin and her young family. At one moment he actually turned a 360 looking for her.
