Conservatives are energized.
McCain had a lot energy himself. He also showed a more humorous side in this speech, at one point calling Sarah Palin's husband "crazy" for snowmobiling 2000 miles. He also said, "...I was not elected Miss Congeniality in Congress again this year." When talking about spending millions to study the DNA of bears in Montana, he said, "I don't know if that was a paternity issue or a criminal issue but we're not going to do it anymore."
