  Listening to right-wingnut radio (Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham) this morning, I am completely flabbergasted that they’ve made McCain the sacrificial lamb, laying all the blame at his feet for being the “worst possible Republican candidate ever.” Incredibly, they continue to absolve Bush of any responsibility for the mess our country is in. Unreal.

  I can’t understand how they can, or why they would say that. This guy was a warrior, POW, and been a very effective senator.

  It’s over, so, lets just let President Obama do his job, and support him. This guy applied for, and won the worst possible job America has to offer.

  I saw footage of people standing in line at the polling places with their bills in their hand, voting for Obama. Not only did many people misinterpret President Obama as having said that he’ll pay all of their bills, but, they even thought it may happen as soon as yesterday.

  It was sad to see people so confused. But, when they don’t get what they misintrpreted him to have said, there will be a negative outcry against President Obama, as well.

  It won’t take long for him to upset people (and, it wouldn’t have taken McCain long to upset people, either). That’s just America, and the American way.

  Charlie: I agree, I am not going to be like the libs were when Bush won the second term running around and claiming that Bush was not their President. It is like family. You can say anything you like about your own family but if someone else put them them down, you will have a fight on your hands. Four years goes by fast.

  I think that the concession speech John McCain gave last night was the best speech he gave through this campaign. I gained back a lot of the respect I had for him back in 2000, but lost during the last few years and especially during this campaign. I think that is very telling that both candidates in their respective speeches spoke of uniting behind commonality and working together for the good of our country, far too much emphasis is placed on “the base” on both sides. The American people spoke and showed that we are largely a nation of moderates, with lunatic fringes on both sides. Obama actively went after moderate voters, and they largely voted for him. I think that if McCain had focused on his strengths with moderate voters, instead of trying to drum up support amongst the “base” he would have done much better. All in all, I am glad the campaign is over and am pleased with the outcome.
