i think bush just wants to go home.

"John, you gave it your all. I'm proud of you, and I'm sorry it didn't work out. You didn't leave anything on the playing field.  Your statement was fabulous and very classy. Please give our love to Cindy."

I can't even begin to imagine Bush saying "fabulous" or "classy".  I can perhaps imagine it in an SNL skit of Queer Eye or Tim Gunn's Guide to Style that he would do post-retirement. 

"Mr. President-elect, congratulations to you. What an awesome night for you, your family and your supporters. Laura and I called to congratulate you and your good bride.  I promise to make this a smooth transition. You are about to go on one of the great journeys of life. Congratulations and go enjoy yourself."

Your good bride?  Awesome night?  The great journeys of life?  I promise? 

And yet I don't feel any intense hate for this flawed, flawed man.  Cheney, as usual, is off Washington grounds, hiding in South Dakota in a tiny town of 1,352 people called Gettysburg.

wow.

actually mccain's concession speech was one of the more convincing public speaking performances i've seen from him

that's what a lot of people are saying. I definitely got the feeling that maybe we'll go back to the old cool McCain, the pre-GOP-machine McCain. Hopefully the Republicans will leave him alone.

I liked the part where McCain was like "The failure was not yours but mines" and the audience was like "noo noooo no" like they all wanted to come up and hug him.

But there was a part where the audience was going "boo BOO" when McCain was trying to be a gracious loser and he didn't really take charge of the audience, which I think was always one of McCain's biggest flaws. He wasn't as a strong and charismatic leader as one would need to be

LOL, here everybody thinks McCain "handled the crowd well". I personally think he should have been like, "just be fucking quiet for once!" But you're right, he's not a strong leader.
