I agree. That's just not classy.
McCain is making an excellent, and very classy, concession speech.

wait, did he just thank Palin? for what?

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?

I teared up a little during McCain's speech. It was so classy.

Now I have to find out what's going on with Prop 8 here in California.

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)

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
