I feel bad for him, as happy as I am about Obama.

[Up2Late]

Aaawww.:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[THUNDER HANDS]

13. wow

the crowd looks like a KKK rally

[bridgit]

16. He's trying, it has to be very hard. Let McCain come forward and work to fix this nation

:patriot:

[GinaMaria]

39. Where was this guy during the campaign?

This is the best he's ever done. Wow and taking responsibility

[FrenchieCat]

17. The reason that Barack won was not because he was Black.

So what McCain is talking is a bunch of shit.

John McCain lost because he's fucked up!

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

When did he say that?

[CarbonDate]

68. I don't read it that way.

I read it as an attempt to give his supporters a reason to be proud of tonight's outcome. And I think his supporters were with him, at least on that point.

[sakabatou]

18. Well, at least he does it with respect

[jillan]

19. Nice line about Toots.

[bridgit]

26. Very...

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

62. Very nice.

[union_maid]

20. Really, really nice speech

If he'd run like this, we might not have won.

[THUNDER HANDS]

21. if you notice, nobody's crying that McCain lost

[galactical]

McCain is leaving it right.

Trying to mend the divide.

[Liberal Mommy]

22. I would feel sorry for him IF...

...he hadn't incited all this hatred! BOO McCain!!! :mad:

[MadrasT]

23. Wow, what a nice speech.

I'm pleasantly surprised. Good for him.

[Left Brain]

25. Very kind

The words about grandma were very, very kind. He's making a good speech.

[demmiblue]

27. I'm impressed!

[Phillycat]

28. Classy speech so far.

I'm pleasantly surprised.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

29. I'm starting to get the idea this Obama fellow is black

[Crazy4sea]

50. Oh my he is??? I didn't realize that good thing he pointed it out

:sarcasm:

[Coexist]

30. this is a really nice concession speech.

I am grateful.

[FreeperSux]

McCain all class...

Well done Senator.

[fencesitter]

31. I'm proud of McCain..

He knows what to do. Good concession speech.

[Frank Booth]

32. McCain's a much better person than his supporters.

[BrklynLiberal]

33. He is making a VERY GRACIOUS speech...

[Zephyrbird]

34. YOU CRISPY OLD MOTHER FUCKER!

TAKE THAT!

GO BACK TO ALASKA, PALIN!!!

[Liberal In Texas]

35. If he'd done this tone during the campaign ...

[Phillycat]

45. No shit. Thank goodness he was the miserable bastard he usually is.

[adigal]

36. Now that he has lost, McCain has found his soul again

He has stopped his smirking, jerking around, and ripping Obama apart. He shushed the assholes in his crowd, and he is classy. If he has been this way during the campaign, he might have fared better that he did.

[GinaMaria]

52. best thing for him

he's free of the radicals that had control of the repub party. He can get back to his true self... well except for the Palin comment

[FreeperSux]

37. McCain all class

Well done, Senator.

[Lady-Damai]

38. Where is Palin? n/t

[jillan]

48. Returning the clothes?

[blogslut]

61. Behind McSame

Looking pretty dejected.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

40. Very classy.

If he had stayed this classy during the election it may have been closer.

David

[galactical]

41. We're not done?

[Blue_Tires]

42. "we won't quit"

?

[arcadian]

His crowd is a bunch of whackos

[MaryEllen9399]

66. and you could totally tell by their faces:

OMG Black People are going to take over.

[azmouse]

43. The faces are a sea of white.

[LostinVA]

44. VERY nice speech -- A+ (I'm sure Palin will ruin his gracious steps)

[spanone]

46. where's the veep wanna be?

[shireen]

47. where was this McCain during the campaign? nt

[musicblind]

51. "The failure is mine. Not yours." -- John McCain

John is, in my opinion, one of the most decent Republicans I have ever seen run for office. I am 26, and I have said on this board before... I have never hated John, only disagreed strongly with his policy choices.

I'd like to say thank you to John McCain for his gracious concession speech.

[Zephyrbird]

53. LISTEN TO THOSE FUCKERS BOO!

MOTHER FUCKERS!

I CAN'T STOP CRYING AND I CAN'T STOP SAYING MOTHER FUCKERS!

MY MOM DIED 4 YEARS AGO AND SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED SEEING THIS. SHE HATED BUSH!!

THANK YOU DU, A LIGHT THROUGH 7 YEARS OF DARK HELL!

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

54. Leave the house mikes on.

After the initial boos, we only hear the crowd when they're cheering. Yeah right, they're being quiet.

[MrsBrady]

55. Palin can kiss my liberal commie butt n/t

[Festusss]

56. Gracious in Defeat.

But he's still a DICK!
You're right, McGramps, it is YOUR failure!

[Festusss]

57. Gracious in Defeat.

But he's still a DICK!
You're right, McGramps, it is YOUR failure!

[Crazy4sea]

58. You notice how noone on stage looks surprised that they lost

[adigal]

59. Sarah's crying ...... good. I despise her. Hatemonger, she is full

of hate and divisiveness.

[chalky]

60. Awww, Sarah looks upset.

:evilgrin:

[Eurobabe]

63. SUCK IT SARAH!

[bullwinkle428]

72. Reap what you sow, vile witch! Back to Wasilla on your broomstick!

[Raschel]

64. I think his speech sucks and he doesn't try to convince anyone to go ahead and unite. He sucks.

[packerkid]

65. Will he mean what he says? I'd like the old McCain back. But ..

Not holding my breath. :eyes:

[RamboLiberal]

73. I thought he gave a good concession speech

And only a few in his crowd tonight were jerks IMHO. But he has a lot of work to do for the passions he and Palin stirred up against Obama and Democrats. He needs to speak out against the hate-mongers who you know will continue tomorrow especially those that have the bully-pulpit of the media.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

67. It's a very gracious speech I think...

[Mr. Sparkle]

69. Good speech by Mccain

[kskiska]

71. Where are the prop kids?

Did they finally manage to find a babysitter?

I saw a woman in the crowd with a Sarah hairdo.

[Zhade]

74. McCain was way classier than his voters.

Sure, he had to say it, but still.

[Willo]

75. I'm just glad they didn't let Sarah speak

she would have cancelled out any of McCain's words.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

76. A classy end to a classless campaign

[Top Cat]

John McCain is a shameless bastard

It will take the remainder of his lifetime to make up for the filth that he allowed during his campaign. He can no longer be considered a maverick.

[Top Cat]

[Supersedeas]

78. Sorry Sarah looks like she wants to take the microphone to ask the public if it is her turn yet
