McCain concedes in subdued tone as crowd jeers Obama

<snip>McCain went home immediately after his speech. Plans for fireworks and laser light show were abandoned.

"I know one thing: He's going to get a good night's sleep tonight," an aide said.

Hours before McCain emerged from the Goldwater Suite where he watched returns with his top aides, the somber and listless mood pervaded his last day of campaigning and the lush grounds of the Biltmore.

McCain was already emotional at a midnight rally the previous night on the steps of the Yavapai courthouse in Prescott, Ariz. His wife, Cindy, was in tears when she introduced him, and McCain's voice broke when told his longtime supporters he would win the presidency Tuesday.

During McCain's last dash to Colorado and New Mexico on Monday, aides insisted there was still a way to win. But even with their best efforts, their comments seemed valedictory.

1. I wonder which one of his 7 homes he went home to?
And which one of his 13 cars did he travel in?

I wonder if those $2,500 imported sheets will provide enough comfort for him and his delicate wife?

I don't feel bad for McCain at all. He stuck with Bush 90% of the time. Bush has been the worst President in our history, so it's not a record to be proud of. McCain has been in the Senate FOREVER, and he's had plenty of time to make his mark and fight for the American people.

Has he done that?

This American can't see any benefits from McCain's years of public service.

Retire, John. Enjoy your last years out of public service. We've had enough of you.

2. Why let a bunch of losers celebrate?
Besides, fireworks cost money, and Cindy didn't want to spring for them. Coffee is for closers, and fireworks are for winners.
