Even though I am thrilled beyond about the outcome of last night’s election, I must confess that when Sen. McCain said in his extremely gracious concession speech that
We fought — we fought as hard as we could.
And though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours.
it made me feel sad. :-(

Yeah, I started to tear up a little. You know it’s got to hurt, politician or not.
I think it was Sarah Palin’s. He would have had a much better chance without her. Then again, if he chose her, I guess it is his fault.
It was the only time in the entire campaign that I actually liked McCain. It was his most human and relatable moment. He was just a grumpy old bastard the whole time.
