“Tonight, I can’t help but feel deep pride and renewed love for my country. We have done what the brave, visionary leaders of our country could not do. We have acknowledged equality, at least for African-Americans, as not just the promise of America, but the reality of America.”

And it probably goes without saying, but a lot of us Caucasians (“people-not-of-color”? ) share your sentiments tonight. This is truly a historic day that several of us who lived through the 60s wondered if we'd ever see.

God bless this great country of ours, and now let's get to work.

Obama became an unstoppable phenom, who not only won but won big. I too remember a time when most black people were maids and porters, so its great to move beyond race.

McCain was finally the man we've all admired in his concession speech. I think he listened too much to his handlers and became unrecognizable.

I thought, in fact, that McCain sounded more rested and fluid and certainly eloquent than he has for weeks.

Geez, McCain was just so incredibly exhausted. Nice speech, but he stumbled over so many words and spoke in such a graven tone. He'll probably get his first good night's sleep in weeks tonight.

One of the talking heads noted that this election finally marked the end of the Reagan Era of politics. I've been living under the oppressive thumb of that incompetent moron and his lingering legacy for most of my life. And now, the final nail has been driven into that coffin, we can all move forward into a new, brighter future. Know hope, it's Morning in America…again!

McCains concession speech showed class heretofore unseen throughout his campaign…where was this gravitas during the campaign?
Classy though, I give him that.

The John McCain delivering his concession speech is the John McCain who could have won the presidency. It's really a speech full of class. But he did just remind me of one of the main reasons he didn't deserve the office. Sarah Palin.
