McCain or Obama

So true Guigo, John McCain is a class act all the way and would have been a great president 8 years ago. Most of my family are Republicans and I warned then 8 years ago that they were making a big mistake picking Bush over McCain. I don't bug them about it, but I'm sure they agree with me now.

I think the concession speech was the best thing to come from his campaign.

I'd rather have stayed out of the discussion (even if, as a future US citizen and the soon-to-be wife of one, I feel entitled to participate), but I'd like to add my endorsement of  what John just wrote above me. I wonder if one can be so oblivious to the extremely difficult situation of their own country, and wish death on someone just because they don't share that person's ideas, regardless of the havoc such an event would wreak on the country (not to mention at the international level). Therefore, I can't help thinking such fantasies are a tad disturbing, to say the least. Has hatred for one's adversary become stronger than love for one's own country's welfare?

There are lots of veterans in my immediate and extended family including a permanently wounded step-son, a highly decorated brother-in-law general, who was promoted because of his daring recue attempts, and many, many others.

I'm sure they admire McCain, but the ones that will talk about it think that Bush and Rumsfield are total jackasses.

Congrats to Obama and all who voted for him from this side of the pond . Well done to everybody.

No sour grapes from me. I'm dancing at the feet of my lord. So are my puppies 'cause they're going for their morning dump in the park.

I was stretching the truth- ever heard of that?

Stretching the truth or not: It still doesn't look like you actually know what you're talking about.

How nice it must be to live in a country where a really good candidate can win the elections... I wouldn´t know

Congratulations to the people from USA!
