The Difference That Speaks Volumes.


Somebody please correct me if my memory is wrong, but: in McCain's concession speech, whenever he referred to Obama the audience booed and jeered (then McCain would gesture to quiet them down).  In Obama's victory speech, when he mentioned McCain, the crowd in Chicago's Grant Park clapped.

That really speaks volumes about the different tones of the campaigns and the different styles of the candidates, and most importantly about the different behaviors they inspire in people.

If four years from now our country is more like that Grant Park crowd, we've won.

We are already like the Grant Park crowd and have been all along.

Bush has obscured the fact that we are better than what the world has seen for the last eight years.

The choice America has made confirms this.

W aren't sore winners. I don't mean to sound condescending but even Hillary's supporters, RIGHT AFTER a tough battle cheered for Obama during her speech. We are just better people than some of them.
