At The Convention, McCain In The Round

John McCain plans to accept the Republican presidential nomination in a unique setting.

Convention planners are working with broadcasters to stage McCain's speech in the round, with Republican faithful behind him.

It's a special request of McCain image-makers, who think the candidate looks more comfortable -- and feels more comfortable -- when he's surrounded by real people.

Very rarely does McCain speak without people sitting behind him, an innovation of veteran Republican event stager Greg Jenkins.
