after talking to people in line at the polls, she was the reason a lot of them crossed party lines...:rolleyes:

and they are steady booing...that says a lot about them.

They really did, didn't they!

Excellent speech.

I agree. That's just not classy.

McCain is making an excellent, and very classy, concession speech.

whooooo! Palin loos like she could sh*t a BRICK lmao!!! very tense in the face!

A good speech. I can sleep happy tonight. :)

I mean this in the most polite way possible . . . but this is some pie-in-the-sky bullshit.

It's less than uncouth. Seriously. Have you ever been to a political rally before?

Yeah, that!
and BTW, I voted HELL NO on Prop 8!

sure havent lol!

Word - all good, but it's expected that it's a (literally) partisan crowd, and the booing isn't considered insulting, but rather supportive for the candidate. In short - don't take it as anti-Obama. There's a reason why that exact moment is included in EVERY SNL skit ever - it happens on both sides, it's no big deal.

It's the furthest thing from uncouth. Hell - it's natural.

Absolutely - it's a good speech, and quite conciliatory.

(Although part of me can't wait for some members of this board to start tearing it apart. There has been ridiculousness on this board on both sides of the coin)

I am in near tears right now....


Love him or hate him...it is somethign to see Jesse Jackson in tears too....

hmm. well my mom raised me better than that lol! i just cant help but realize these are the same voters that booed Mccain when he defended Obama a few weeks ago over that Muslim comment...i thought his speech was excellent and if i were a Republican i would have been proud of how eloquently he stood down.

That was more of the John McCain I expected to see on the campaign trail this year. Not what he became the last couple months.


ETA: and yes, that shot of Jesse J. got me all choked up, I was on the phone with a dear friend of mine and we both got worked up at that
