McCain delivered his acceptance speech on the following night, promising that "change is coming," and exhorting the audience to "stand up and fight!"MSNBC: McCain Addresses the 2008 RNC (Time: 9:41)

George W. Bush and Dick Cheney decided not to appear, and the opening night featured Laura Bush and Cindy McCain making an appeal for donations for hurricane relief.-
