Wow.

John McCain possibly just delivered the greatest concession speech in history.

I think he's relieved.

[quick_chick]

I totally got that sense from him as well.

[jhdiddle]

I was quite impressed by his speech as well.

His concession speech brought back a very small smidgen of the respect I'd lost for McCain over the last few months. It was pretty classy, and very good.

[parilous]

It was a great speech, but damn, did I want to shut his supporters up. You got the sense that McCain was also a bit pissed at them and couldn't wait to leave the stage -- even almost neglecting to kiss his wife and barely shaking the hand of Palin's husband.

[jonfmorse]

Yeah, the crowd was a disappointment. No positive reaction at the things he said which actually stirred me, and pissy teenage grumping at the things he said which I nodded respectfully at.

The frat boy booing reminded me of a sports event. I was glad to see the images being broadcast, though (I don't have a TV, so I'm watching it online), because I could see respect on the faces of most of the members of the audience.

They found 2007 McCain in a closet somewhere and put new batteries in him.
