I am extremely impressed by McCain's concession speech....
His supporters are still idiots. But his speech was heartfelt and beautiful.

2. If he'd run the rest of his campaign that way,
he might have stood a chance.

I have lost any element of respect I had for him.

6. He and Palinocchio have a duty to be exceptionally supportive
of the incoming administration. Their lies and dirty tricks have had a horrifically divisive effect on Americans. Shame on them both if they don't go overboard now to try to pull things back together.

5. Yeah, it was good. Thank god he was a miserable bastard throughout the campaign.
Otherwise, we might have a different outcome tonight.

7. Isn't that the truth? Several times I have wondered if McCain was purposely throwing this....
Maybe that's a stupid thought. But there is something about McCain that always struck me as "above the rhetoric" of his own campaign. I think he always hoped to run against Hillary and when Obama won he didn't want to win.

9. It was a good speech.
Though given his Jekyll/Hyde personalities, I'm not sure how much of it to believe.
