McCain is making me cry.
I see glimmers of the McCain I respect. I'm so glad he is coming back.

that really stuck out to me too! What a class act.
Agreed. A good speech. This is the McCain democrats were afraid of.
But this crowd is very unklassy.
I don't like the booing, but they're disappointed, and conveying it in really the only way they can.

Ditto---it is not unclassy to be disappointed. It is real.
100% agree with this.
McCain gave a great speech. Palin seemed visibly choked up. I wonder what the future will hold for her.
I don't have a problem with people booing -their candidate didn't win - that's all.
Agreed.
I was really unhappy at the beginning. ?It sounded like a "blame the blacks" type of speech while trying to be proud of the accomplishment. ?He just didn't pull it off.
But he totally had me at the end. ?What a great finish.?
Their candidate lost, though, it has nothing to do with who won. They will think of the historical context later. I just don't agree that it is unclassy for it is so raw, sorry.
(a) THIS is the McCain that I would have come close to voting for in 2000. Where the hell was he this campaign season? I can imagine the race being A LOT closer if people had seen THIS guy (with a different running mate, of course)...
(b) I am NOT okay with the booing. It's fine to boo the idea of concession, it's fine to be disappointed. It is NOT okay to constantly boo the other candidate or to boo your "leader's" congratulations of him.
And to be honest, I blame McCain's campaign for their behavior. You can't spend an entire campaigning implying that your opponent is a terrorist, hoping that voters pick up on this reference, and then expect your supporters to immediately embrace your 360 description of your opponent.
I don't believe this is the Real McCain. The Real McCain trots out this version of McCain when it is politically expedient. The Real McCain knows he's built a reputation for honesty, and he plays on it when he needs to. The Real McCain acts first -- and badly -- and apologizes later, knowing people will forgive him. The Real McCain knew he could make terrible choices and then convince people "he had to do it".
Sorry to sound so cynical, but he's clearly playing us all. If he were truly the honest, bipartisan, integrity-filled man we want him to be, he wouldn't have made the choices he made in this election cycle.
He wasn't forced. He chose this.
