The Speeches

McCain: A surprisingly gracious concession, the crowd aside. I hope McCain will head back to the senate and start picking up the pieces of his shattered integrity. He and Obama are yet colleagues, and they can yet work together.

Obama: Wow. Just wow.* I loved how this speech builds on his "more perfect union" speech and his convention speech. Wonderful.

DoomCOM's running commentary: Priceless.

*Although I have the sinking suspicion "let us summon a new spirit" line will be taken rather too literally by the "Obama is the Antichrist" crowd.

Bonus xkcd:

What if they just made a tiny exception?
