    His most honorable moment.

    Had he carried himself with that kind of dignity and respect during the campaign, he might have won.

    It is really quite good. He should concede more often :)

    I've always liked McCain, but 2000 was his time.

    and had the republicans won(under the exact same circumstances), obama's supporters would be doing the same.

    it happens. it's not a big deal. get over it.

    It was an exceptional speech. As said, he was not in charge of his campaign. The people running his campaign were the same people who ran Bush's campaign against McCain in 2000.

    McCain's campaign was dirty and horribly run but I have a lot of respect for the man. He silenced critics who "were scared" of Obama during his rallies and I agree that had he acted like he did during his speech throughout the entire election process, he may have won. Other than choosing Palin, he did everything right and it was the people who ran his campaign that focused way too much on negative ads rather than positive ones and ultimately screwed him over.

    Nice speech. Good of him to refrain from saying stuff like "that one" will be our next president.

    I call bullshit.

    I don't think Cheney would be involved in the administration, nor most of Bush's appointees. Rove wouldn't be his special advisor. Andy Card wouldn't have been his chief of staff. Rice wouldn't be his Secy. of State. And so on.

    Sounds like George Bush is going to take directions from Barack Obama for his last 2 months in office.
