Watched all 3 speeches.

McCain's inappropriate affect (that fake yellow smile plastered on his face) was almost as bad as the robotic turning
from the teleprompter on his left to the one in the center to the one on his right, then back to center, then to the left...
OMG, get him off my screen...

to Hillary, whose basic stump speech was dragged out one more time. She did not concede. She never gives a concession
speech. Graciousness is a moot concept with her. No surprise, just enough room for a little more disappointment to sneak in.

And then, Obama. How he praised Hillary without a scintilla of resentment or insincerity in his voice is incredible to me, given the fact that,
even tonight, at this momentous instant in our country's history, she couldn't bring herself to offer anything more than one trite sentence
about him in her speech.

He is the kind of leader who comes along (if we're lucky) once or twice in a lifetime.

I am in awe not only of his intelligence and capabilities but of his generosity of spirit.

Thank you, Senator Obama!

1. That spirit is what makes him so appealing.

[TahitiNut]

14. I'm guessing it attracted Michelle, too.

Just guessing, mind you ... far be it for me to pretend to read minds.

2. K&R n/t

[greenbriar]

3. McCains smile is like the prompter said "insert smile"

it was so fake every time

[tblue37]

13. Like Dan Ackroyd's version of Jimmy Carter's smile. n/t

[mloutre]

4. Yeah, if he keeps this up I might even end up having to vote for the guy.

[WeDidIt]

5. I hope McCain ALWAYS uses a Green Background

It makes him look like a zombie and ages him about 15 years.

[DeepBlueC]

6. agreed

heh, heh, heh

[patrice]

9. pssst; don't give them any helpful tips.

You are exactly right.

[patrice]

7. He does us the honor of actually talking directly to us. He engages Us.

It's a beautiful thing to see him with a crowd.

[Meshuga]

8. I actually felt sorry for McCain. He looked pathetic.

perhaps he is going for the sympathy vote because I truly think he doesn't have a chance. He sucks!

[Rosemary2205]

10. How BAD have McCain's senate opponents been??? Good God he sucks at speaking.

The man can hardly put 3 words together NOW. Even the asshat in chief was able to throw a sentence out in the beginning -- before fried brain syndrome fully kicked in. What is Grandpa going to be like after a couple years in the hot seat??

[Melancholic Toaster]

11. Good god

That was the worst possible color. I mean, green, sure, great. But that was such an ugly, faded green. And he was so quiet and emotionless.

Obama could just be better at supressing emotion, although since he's the winner, he can afford to be a little generous to his opponent.

[TahitiNut]

12. "generosity of spirit" ... the mark of only the wealthiest of men, no matter their possessions.

:thumbsup:

[thoughtcrime1984]

15. He is amazing, can't wait for his Presidency!

[chieftain]

16. If McCain doesn't fire whoever the dumb fuck was that came up

with the idea of giving a speech the same night as barack. The comparison is devastating to dishonest John.
