[vintagecushion]

McCain''s speech is excellent. Very gracious.

 

[brazen_irish_hussy]

I won''t speak about his supporters, but McCain is being very classy and kudos to him for that.

Yeah WTF is wrong with those people booing President Elect Obama. BLEEPING BLEEPING BLEEPERS.

And Clair, I bet they''ll have it on again later....Seriously. It''s freaky.

I''m actually amazed that you guys are surprised with the booing! Hello! They are supporters that don''t want to hear their candidate concede! It''s more that their candidate lost than the other one winning. Do you not remember your democratic supporters booing in 2000 and 2004?

Poor McCain. He looks like he want to cry.


I feel bad for him. I think his campaign people and Palin ruined it for him.

I feel like he always looks like that though. Maybe hes known it all along that he couldn''t defeat Barack?

Love the call for unity. McCain is being a class act right now.

Ditto! Loving the speech...until just now when he gave Palin props!

 

[princesss]

You know, this speech reminds me of why I liked McCain so much before this election got dirty.

I''m not surprised at the booing. There will always be sore losers and sore winners on both sides alike, regardless of who wins and who loses. I think McCain''s speech is very gracious.

I missed it, but that''s probably because my own boos were drowning them out!
