Was this the best speech of the election?
I found McCain's concession speech to be extremely gracious and patriotic. I hope both candidates are planning on working together to move our country through these trying times.

McCain - what an impressive guy. you will have disagreed along with his platform/plan, yet while a guy, stands up and congratulates his opponent like that, one venture can merely be mentioned - McCain is a real gentleman. To all those booers who could no longer even provide McCain the respect to tutor his graciousness to Obama, I say this: don't be so infantile as you have made politics in the U. S. what they are on the instant - call calling, undesirable exposure, scandals, and so on. I wish individuals might concentration on what they truly desire to end whilst in workplace rather of doing a tit for tat thought. it would advance the balloting and can get rid of the ridiculous volume of money that Obama threw at campaigning which could have long gone to rescue the faltering financial equipment - has everyone concept approximately that?! i'm a Canadian and that i truly know and honour a guy like John McCain who gracefully bowed down and did no longer could play any stupid muic (cough cough Barack Obama) or have some reverend sermon the individuals (to tutor that Barack is black), rather all you're able to do is are available in the process as human. Race potential no longer something to me, yet maybe it particularly is by way of fact i'm youthful and don't carry onto innovations from our previous which stay away from the form of a rustic as in the case with maximum individuals. very final concept, i think Obama will tutor in 2010 whether or no longer he has what it takes to rewrite American historic previous and create substitute (I say 2010 by way of fact maximum of his rules that he creates won't have a raffle to be enforced till then).

I agree, McCain's congratulatory speech to Barack Obama was amazing. Yeah the fan's boo'd, but I guess you would expect it since it was the most grueling campaign war I have ever seen, and it is finally over. Congrats to both McCain and Obama, now it's up to us as Americans to make a change!

I think McCain and Obama are both obligated to show some extreme respect for each other after kinds of stuff we saw in this campaign. There were pretty nasty stuff.

Obama's speech was very uplifiting. Alot of politicians usually get behind the curtain and not say what they mean which tends to cause a wave of cynicism.
Finally, someone intelligent enough and qualified to be president

It really was; as an American, I was proud to see a U.S. Senator show so much class and dignity in defeat, even to the point where he tried to shut up the jerks who were booing Obama/Biden tonight.
I was very pleased with his speech.

well, i thought obama's speech was the best of the election, but i was very impressed with senator mccain's speech tonight. he seemed sincere, which he doesnt usually. i dont think the republican party has let him be himself

By far the best speech by either during this whole mess. Just wish he'd run with it instead of backtracking. Not like he had much of a chance in that state anyway.

Not best, but if not for the bitter losers in his followers, it would have been one of the best. Very gracious.
