Classy speech by McCain, both men should be applauded.

DanaC · 11-04-2008, 10:26 PM

*nods* I wish his supporters hadnt booed though. They sjould have respected his grace

BigV · 11-04-2008, 10:30 PM

Very classy performance by McCain. He was very gracious. **THAT** is the McCain that might have won the election.

The booing was low f*ckin class. Embarrassing.

I think he will continue to be an asset to the country in the Senate.

Cloud · 11-04-2008, 10:31 PM

yeah, baby! woo!

I was impressed by McCain's speech, too. It's a crying shame that that voice was stifled throughout his campaign. He would have been better off without his party.

Riddil · 11-04-2008, 10:35 PM

Thank you America. If Obama didn't win I was prepared to ask for another extension to my over-seas work assignment.

Even though the country is a mess, and will likely be a mess, I'm actually willing to head home.

Sorrow.

The Democrats better win the war better than the Republicans. And their chance of doing it? Hah.

Agreed! Well THAT and a different choice for a running mate.

I went from liking McCain and thinking him a good choice for president (despite that I disagree with his politics) to thinking he would be a poor president, over the course of the campaign. Not because of his politics, but because of his responses and character. That's not to say I think he has a weak character, or a bad character, but I don't think he is presidential material, simply because of how fazed he was when crisis struck, and how little control he seemed able to exert over his campaign.

Had he won, he'd have owed his position entirely to those who orchestrated his campaign and would not have been 'free' politically. His willingness to let them orchestrate it spoke volumes.

I think he's a very good man. A brave man, and a man who genuinely believes in public service. Being brilliant in the field and brave in battle, and being able to see, predict, respond to the wider political and economic situation are two different things.

I wouldn't mind seeing McCain be the head of a NEW political party... break away from the loony bins that have taken control of the Republican party. Take all the moderates and the centrists and get 2nd party that's more interested in getting real work done, as opposed to mindless prattling.
