John McCain Concession Speech

Haha, this is the moment where John McCain knew for sure he was about to drop off the face of the world. :)

Go obama!!

This guy was a pure loser.

Another bitch boy. Ron Paul was the real republican in the race for the ticket.

I was disappointed that he lost, but I didn't watch his concession on election night, and I haven't seen it since.

Amazing, classy and well-thought. It really showed what a high class person he is.

I WANTED HIM TO WIN!!! HE IS A GREAT MAN~!!! HE BELIEVES IN GOD AND HE BELIEVES IN MARRIAGE OF A WOMAN AND A MAN!!! THAT IS WHY I LIKE HIM!! GOOD VALUES!!

Ya he didn't need this. He was conceding to a loss before election day was 4 months away.

Handled the understandable feeling of disappointment, as well as a few booers in the crowd, with class and dignity.

I actually teared up. I thought it was very gracious and sincere.

he creeps me out but so does obama

an historic election?

He did deliver a great speech, If he had spoken and acted like that during the race I think the results would have been different, but instead he ran an attack campaign acting rat like the whole way through. He had a good ending, still so glad he wasn't elected.

He has so much class.

I rather liked his speech, the sentiment.. as far as the booing, given the emotions of the evening after all the build up leading to it.. it could have been a lot worse.  You oughta hear some of the democrats I've heard being rude and obnoxious.. not very in the spirit of Obama's 'cross partisan lines' and all the talk yesterday of healing the frayed fabric of the country talk... is it?I liked his speech and if anyone doesn't believe Obama was practicing.. hah.  They all have speeches written, they all practice.. I hope no one believes he just thought that from the top of his head?It's what these guys do.  Give speeches.  Did anyone actually think he'd come out and say, "This is a crock of crap and I think the American people suck for electing some inexperienced marxist leaning yahoo with terrorist ties to the highest @#$@$# seat in the land after I #@$@#$ served my WE$@# country for @#$@# years to protect my mother@#$@#@$  countrymen? Just #$@# cut my legs off next time I'm in a #$@@#... Read more

Get this man some Scope or Certs.  Seriously, it was an okay speech.  I'm glad he made the speech so close to his house(s).  Maybe he can try out for the Arizona Cardinals. Maybe they need help.

FUCK DONKEY DICK U CUNT!!!

It was a nice speech, they had weeks to write it.  The booing by the McCain supporters during the speech reminded me of why he needed to be so gracious.

What concession speech isn't somewhat "gracious"? McCain BETTER have been gracious in the face of this historic defeat, especially after his offensive rantings associating Obama with communists, terrorists and other "lesser Americans" than him and his followers.

It was a wonderful speech, but he had been practicing. The entire campaign was a concession speech. There is so much greatness in John McCain and I see him as an American hero. He was a bad candidate, the New York Times's favorite Republican. Everyone (except Senator McCain) knew that when push came to shove, his pals in the press would dump him like a salami.

I agree.  McCain's speech was VERY respectable,  honrable,  and gracious.  He did the right thing by puting the nasty politics aside (that goes for both parties this election) and getting behind Obama, and honoring him.  I tip my hat to McCain and Obama,  who also gave an impressive victory speech. Even tho his loss was a blow out,  McCain can still walk away with his head held high after that speech.

Sen. McCain's concession speech earned a lot of my respect back again for the honorable man that he really is. It seems since the RNC we really hadn't seen his true colors with all the negative campaigning. It seems this campaign took a toll on hom so I hope he's relxing and getting some rest and then he'll back to the senate being the guy we use to know.

Now that he lost like a good boy...the left can get back to openly praising him. What a crock this guy is.

McCain's concession speech was downright classy. He regained some of the respect I lost for him as his campaign spiraled out of control there at the end. I've suspected all along that he wasn't responsible for all of the libel (although enabling it / not shutting it down still pretty much sucked, and that's still on him), and his concession speech helped me to believe that is at least close to the truth.  I'm glad he addressed national unity, condemned racism, and looked to the future as a bright one for America. He spoke with dignity, and humility. I felt bad that the crowd he addressed wasn't nearly as respectful as they should have been.

A good speech to close up shop with. As honest as his acceptance speech several weeks back. As for the rest of his campaign, let's just say I didn't buy into either party's spin and BS.

Sounded conciliatory to the point of apologetic to me.

A wonderful speech, and well delivered. Every losing presidential candidate is expected to say the right things to start bringing the country back together. I thought McCain went above and beyond. I'm probably projecting, but I felt like I could see the relief in the old warrior's face. This thing was finally over, and he could go back to being Senator John McCain. I say welcome back.

John McCain was gracious in defeat. Win or lose, the man is deserving of our respect. Did he behave badly during the campaign? At times, But he fought the good fight. What more can we ask of him?

Hey kids!  Here's a political listing of something that actually happened!  (News flash.)  Saw the video and this is the John McCain the RNC muzzled during the campaign.  The charismatic centrist. . .the guy who is a little bigger than the nativist flag-wavers who hooted and hollered during McCain's classy concession speech.  Where was this guy during the campaign?  The handlers (who were 'wowed' with Palin) decided to go away from McCain's strengths. . .bad idea.  It was sad for me to watch a proud old man not quite be appreciated by that audience at certain moments.  If only they let him run his campaign.  The RNC will never know. . .

His gracious concession was marred only by booing wingnuts.

McCain came across very well, and the most important thing to take away from this is that he doesn't want Obama to fail just for the sake of partisanship. Go ahead and disagree with his political stances, but don't argue that this man doesn't care a lot about this country. I liked McCain before this election, and understand that he has been characterized a bit as a villain over the past few months. However, I still have a lot of respect for him, which is not something I say about a lot of politicians.

Gracious, honorable, speech with a call for healing. I don't accept the argument that this John McCain would have won the election, but he would have made it more difficult for the Democrats to find wedge issues.
