Did any of you actually WATCH the three major speeches last night? Good lord, your raving like lunatics and none of you appear to have educated yourselves beforehand.
Not that it's new for you.
Obama gave fairly well fleshed out version of the usual stump with a pretty significant, positive section devoted to Clinton and her campaign. It was a hell of a lot more than the usual "Hey, my losing opponent is okay" line tossed in during victory speeches. Somebody posted a chunk of it a few pages back on the thread. I suggest you check it out or find the transcript on line.
Clinton didn't concede, but she backed down very graciously without raining all over her supporters. Nobody who has been watching this expected her to concede last night, largely because she had a pretty good showing and because she has a lot of hard-working, excited supporters who deserve some time in the sun as she winds down. I suggest you check hers out as well.
McCain sat in front of a green screen and had a really lame. boring moment that reminded us all what used to be cool about him and how sad it is that any semblance of independent thought he used to have has been sucked right out of him by the GOP. Check it out if you are having trouble sleeping.
Seriously people, shut down the computer for a few days and take a breather. You're going to give yourselves cardiac problems.
