I can't wait for Obama's speech. I expect it will be an incredibly historical moment.

Not just historical, but INCREDIBLY historical?

I honestly believe that VP selection had a big impact on this election. Alot of pundits say otherwise.. but ultimately I think that McCain's focus on fear and not enough on the economy is what cost him the election.. in 1992 the economy was the issue that got Clinton elected..

I'm excited to hear Obama's speech

Agreed - I honestly think that the VP selection cost McCain a ton of votes. Maybe not the election, but at least a large number of votes.

Well obviously that means McCain supporters suck.

Seriously? This is a non-issue, and trying to make this into an issue is just ridiculous. I hate how people are trying to paint a whole party by the reactions of a few.

MLK's daughter speaking on CNN -- wow. Think of that historical road. Martin Luther King, Jr. to President Barack Obama.

Yeah - but it's always easier to be a gracious winner than it is to well... be gracious when you are not the winner. McCain succeeded in being gracious, but his supporters will need a little time to come around.

They're human.

McCain's crowd was booing that McCain wasn't elected.
Obama's crowd was cheering that McCain wasn't elected.

Like someone said earlier, the booing isn't necessarily an anti-Obama sentiment.
