It was fine and gracious. Certainly moreso than some Republicans I've seen.

1. Agreeance
Very gracious concession speech. No love lost for the troll wolf killer though. Smell ya later, Moose Congeniality.

2. Yeh, he done good. Too bad all those trogs kept wrecking it with juvenile displays.
That was the formidable John McCain. If that had been on display all along it would have been a real fight.

It looked to me as though he finally said "F*** it. It doesn't matter what these people think anymore."

Pity he didn't think that four months ago. He might still have a few more rags of integrity to pull around himself as he wanders off into the sunset.

skeptically,
Bright

3. I totally agree.
He was very gracious in defeat, so I must give him that. He was certainly much more gracious than a lot of his supporters that were with him.

I hope he was genuine in his stated desire to work with Obama to find solutions for America. I don't hold out much hope of that, but I'm keeping an open mind.

4. I thought he was human too.
Actually he seemed to be a genuine American.

7. I was amazed. I yelled out in the bar where we were watching: 'Where was THIS guy during
the campaign?!?' It was statesman-like - like the McCain I thought he was 4-5 years ago. Amazing.

8. That's because his handlers gave up handling him and went home.
They just said fuck it, do what you want.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7778454&mesg_id=7779251 proof that he could and should have said so much more after unleashing such ignorance and hate these past months..

12. Good speach

I think he sold out to win the election. Dont be shocked if he works with Obama in a fairly bipartisan manner.

He can either go the way of ideologue assholes like Phil Graham or he can help make a difference and work to help this nation with PRESIDENT OBAMA...

its McCains choic.
