    Maybe some of them will even send formal letters of apology to Palin and her family.

    I noticed that. That really underscored the difference between the tone of these two campaigns.

    Settle petal. You are blind if you think that Palin was the only one who should get a formal letter of apology.

    Did you notice that during McCains speech, he mentioned obama, and his supporters booed? McCain asked them to stop. Obama didn't have to ask his supporters to stop. They never started.

    Of course you didn't :rolleyes:

    As soon as a Palin apologies for continually saying that only half of the country are "real" Americans.

    Why dont you set an example?

    back on topic, after seeing what happened with those idiots in Az; i was worried that about boos in Chicago. I was happy there werent any. Note to Palin: The real America was out in Grant Park, a diverse, patriotic, and classy crowd.

    I think there are underlying parallels.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Despite the booing, I think that McCain was very gracious in defeat.

    NO it didn't...they cheered because McCain was calling Obama to concede...it was about McCain having to tell Obama congrats, nothing to do with the crowd cheering McCain...anyhow, that's what I think.

    Who boos after winning?

    Before he even went into what was said. But i see no problem with you interpreting it the way you see it.

    I see your point. There's plenty of boo hooing going on around here today, and it's sure as hell not from the winning supporters :D

    I even ended up voting for Obama despite our differences...but I don't feel good about my vote at all really.

    I think there are plenty of tears going around today...I'd also venture to guess that th emajority of the tears of joy are fake...like Jesse Jackson...staged tears. Pretty pathetic.

    Very sad that McCain's concession speech was by far the best and classiest of his entire campaign. The story will come out in the next few years, how McCain's campaign was taken over by the GOP. Palin was forced on him. The pallin around with terrorists shit, he didn't want that

    See Cincy i don't see it just stopping here. He's in, but it's still up to us to demand that he follows through with his promises. We can't be complacent and just sit back and moan in 2 years if things have not improved (not saying that you would ever do that). We have to fight as hard as we did to get him elected to make sure that our voices are not ignored.

    We can't stop people like that. We've just got to keep real to ourselves and keep fighting for what we believe in and let the rest of them get on with it.

    I do feel your frustration.

    my greatest hope fro McCain speech didn't happen. i wanted Mccain to come out and tell teh rep. to fuck off as they fucked him 8 years ago.

    Jesse's just crying because Obama managed what he couldn't.

    While I detest Jesse Jackson for the most part, and his actions have set race relations back years in this country, you can't really judge whether someone else's emotions are real or fake. Even the worst people are emotionally moved sometimes.

    indeed.


    although it IS easier to be gracious and cheer when you are on the winning side. however, overall...i agree. i DO think mccain was quite gracious and unifying in his speech, even if his supporters weren't. obama was awesome!


    one very obvious thing i noticed, and i am sure many did as well: looking out at the crowds at each then-candidate's gatherings, what completely DIFFERENT demographics! mccain's camp: predominantly white, male and middle aged. obama camp: all colors of the rainbow, all ages, both genders well represented. granted, i realize chicago is much more diverse than phoenix, but none the less.....it speaks volumes to me.

    Phucking Philadelphia Phillies phans.

    Seriously (off topic I know) did anyone see after the World Series when the owner congratulated the Rays for a great season/series and the Philly fans starting booing? So yes, there are people classless enough to boo even after they've won.

    When the McCain party guests were booing, and he had that embarrassed look on his face, all I could think was McCain is so much better than most of the yahoos who voted for him.

    His speech was great, though. It's like he immediately went back to being the McCain I loved in 2000, now that he no longer had to be the asshole we've seen in the past few months.

    It's kind of sad that the real John McCain didn't come out until last night.

    I had a thought cross my mind last night as I was watching McCain's speech and it may fall a bit into the wacky conspiracy category. I was think that maybe the GOP used McCain. The party leaders really didn't want this onetime Maverick to win the presidency. they used him as a vehicle to get their new rising star, Sarah Palin, more national exposure for a presidential run in 2012. Like I said the thought just crossed my mind for a second but it definitely made me wonder.

    I agree totally. I was actually undecided until Palin came into the picture and the campaign turned into an ugly fear fest. :)

    :eek:


    personally, i don't think they truly wanted to win. i think they even realize what a fucked mess they've masterminded, what an absolute mess to dig out from under, and sure...realized the current administration is sooo despised at this point. to me, palin was an insult to mccain, to this country. if they truly see her as the future of their party, i am ascared for this country...and i would hope if this election proves nothing else....america as a whole does NOT want someone like palin in our exectutive branch of the federal government. i think this election is a big lesson for the reps, and i hope they learn from it...for the good of all.

    I agree with the fact that there was a different McCain from the Repub Convention on than we saw last night and prior to the campaign. If he got to run the campaign his way, without the Rove B.S. He would have had a much better shot and nobody would know who Sarah Palin is.

    Ha she went to great lengths to spread hate and fear... she can go fuck herself!!!

    At least McCain showed some class when the racists started their rantings at his rallies.

    My 8 year old son commented on that while watching the speeches.. because he was so shocked when the McCain crowd booed the mention of Obama.

    Dramatically shows the respect level on both sides.
