Emotional about the campaign ending and saying goodbye to the traveling press corps, or prescient?

A subdued McCain came to the back of the plane to talk to reporters on the flight from New Mexico back to Arizona.

Cindy McCain, who stood beside her husband, had tears in her eyes.

"Well, my friends, this is our last flight on this airplane together so I just wanted to stop back," McCain said. "And yesterday I know was really a fun day starting out at the crack of dawn and ending up at 2 am. We went 3700 miles yesterday, had a great ride, and looking forward to the election results tonight and I'm feeling good, feeling confident about the way things have tured out. We've had a great ride, a great experience, it's full of memories that we will always treasure, including the last one up there in Colorado, where people were so warm-- and the enthusiasm as you've seen in rallies has been really quite remarkable and quite heartwarming. So, we've spent a lot of time together, so, been together for almost two years--others, those are the ones who rode around in the van with us on the $39.99 flight to Manchester. So anyway, we've had a great time and I wish all every success. Look forward to being with you in the future. Thanks very much."

8. Those tears will dry fast

These people have already won life's lottery.

11. Yes, and, they treated the Presidency as if it were a gold watch.

McCain really thought it was his "turn." He'd "earned" it.

9. Fuck'em both. They deserve pity from NO ONE.

They would destroy this country in order to make their benefactors enormously wealthy.

FUCK 'EM.

He ran a dishonorable campaign.
He is not an honorable person.

She is only useful to him because she's rich.

She'll never sleep in the White House.

Boofreakinhoo.

The shreiking howls of their black souls is celestial music to my ears.

13. That's a concession speech if I ever saw one

[VolcanoJen]

14. That's exactly the way I'm reading it.

;-)

And I'll bet that's the way everyone in DC and in those TV studios are reading it, too.

16. Video running on MSNBC now! Cindy's been crying for sure.

They know. They probably had a good idea early, but I imagine Steve Schmidt told John McCain moments before that he had lost.
