I didn't expect any anyway.
I am a fan of this speech on the point that he mentioned how proud his grandmother must be of him in heaven.

yes, his speech is very nice, he is taking it very maturely...
...i still get the slight feeling that crowd has got to be the rudest group of people on the earth. they are acting that way after they VOTED for him!

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?

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.

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

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

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)

It was great! That was the John McCain I had a crush on. 
I still can't believe it, you guys. I've been crying ever since this election was called.
