John McCain also proved himself to be the moral and upstanding leader I found him to be prior to the election madness. He recaptured some of his former self tonight, and maybe even came upon something greater, in his concession speech. Here are a few choice passages from the speech.
“It is natural. It’s natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.
“Tonight — tonight, more than any night, I hold in my heart nothing but love for this country and for all its citizens, whether they supported me or Senator Obama — whether they supported me or Senator Obama.
I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president. And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.
Americans never quit. We never surrender. (APPLAUSE)
We never hide from history. We make history.
Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America.”
- Senator John McCain
I hope this kind of thinking lasts. If it does, we certainly have better days ahead.
