"McCain delivered his lines with an ease that suggested a momentary peace with his longtime nemesis, the teleprompter. But when Mr. McCain came to the intended sound byte of his speech, he hit a slick.
'I have set before the American people an energy plan, the Lex-eegton Project,' Mr. McCain said, drawing a quick breath and correcting himself. 'The Lex-ing-ton Proj-ect,' he said slowly. 'The Lexington Project,' he repeated. 'Remember that name.'
In a town meeting in Cincinnati the next day, Mr. McCain would again slip up, calling it the 'Lexiggdon Project' and twice tried to fix his error before flipping the name.
'We're going up against a guy (Obama) who is off the charts,' said Mark Salter. Mr. McCain is working closely with aides like Brett O'Donnell, a former debate consultant for Mr. Bush, to improve his speech and performance. He is working to limit his verbal tangents and nonverbal tics."
