I am thrilled with our president-elect, and with the gracious concession of John McCain. What a class act!
What hope for tomorrow.

McCain's call to Obama

Jamie Knight, Hanover, NH — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:40:59 GMT

I don't know why McCain is giving up already. Most votes have still to be counted, not to mention the couple million absentee ballots from overseas, most of them being soldiers who have a very high rate of approval for McCain. In states with great military populations such as Virginia, and there being such a small margin, there is a definite possibility that the state could turn. Felling as well for Wisconsin and possibly Ohio but that would be a long shot

CA Indie for Obama — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:41:00 GMT

If John McCain had run his campaign as well as he delivered his concession speech, stating the need for the country to work together, this election may have gone to the Supreme Court. We as a nation have a great task ahead and Sen. McCain, I felt, gave the nation its first step toward working to get everyone working together again. He even sent out an olive branch "to his good friend Joe Biden".
The real work starts tomorrow.

Tara, Lindenhurst, New York — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:41:51 GMT

I really hope that Obama turns out to be a good president, I don't think that it will happen but one can hope. It is just a shame on how Obama fed on the uneducated americans to win the presidency.

ET in AZ — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:42:41 GMT

I think if McCain had run a positive & respectful Campaign instead of attacking Obama he would have done better. like when he stopped the woman who said Obama was an Arab & told her "Barrack Obama is a Decent man that he just disagreed on Pokicies", Thats the McCain that would have possibly won. America is Tired of the old ATTACK Politics,

Mr. McCain: The minute you went for Sarah Palin as your running mate you wrote your defeat right then and there. As a Republican, I found Mrs. Palin TOTALLY unqualified for the positiion. What a poor choice!!!!!

Jim Wood — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:49:29 GMT

I thought McCain's concession speech was well written and his delivery was great. I believe he was sincere although he played to win, not lose. I would have liked to hear something from Palin though.

It amazes me that even with all the mud slinging that McCain did during this election President-Elect Obama still has the grace and maturity to offer to sit down with McCain to "work together". I think we chose the right man for the job. Thank you Obama for being the change this country needs.

Cody R, Marysville, Ohio — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:52:49 GMT

You know Obama is not going to use McCain... thats ridiculous.. Obama is just going to do what ever he wants and he is going to "spread the wealth". I can't believe America has elected a president who has COMMUNIST views.. poor choice America. Mark my words, we will all suffer under this man. he is not ready nor has the right ideas to move this country forward.

Ellen - Fort Myers, FL — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:53:40 GMT

Of course Pres. Elect Obama asked Sen. McCain for his help in the future. That's why he won. That's why I voted for him.

Kevin, Southern Maine — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:55:21 GMT

I proudly voted for Obama, but I thought McCain made a great speech. That's the McCain alot of people wished had shown up to this election, and the one who would have made tonight MUCH closer...

McCain's call to Obama

Raymond T. Case — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:55:27 GMT

I have always admired John McCain-- never so
much as now. And Obama's response was, I am sure,
sincere and a clear indicator of the man's
intelligence. We should all note that in every
corner of the world, people have been caught up
in this election; we, not China, are the world's'
future, and they know it. The past eight years
have been an intellectual and moral desert; the
world looks to US to build the future. We must
demand that it happens, starting now.

Eric Benson, CDR, USN (Ret), Coats, NC — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:57:08 GMT

dawn randall - michigan — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:59:29 GMT

I find it disgraceful, that this country, that was FOUNDED on Godly principals has turned its back on the Lord. We will all reap what you have sewn. It is ashame that people neglect to do thier homework and see the lack of integrity in mr. OBAMA-NATION... I am discouraged and outraged at the lack of intelligence shown by the american people. They chose a man with no history of ever accomplishing ANYTHING for this nation, in fact until now, he and his wife have " never been proud of america" ... (their words, not mine).. UNBELIEVABLE!! He in one term will destroy, all that america was founded on.. dont believe me??? read Revelations (its in your bible).. thats that little black book thats covered in dust, stuffed in a box somewhere in your house... or attic... Try reading it... then maybe you will be ashamed of who you picked as the leader of the free world.. oh and by the way.. welcome to the new russia.. cuz communist we will now become.

McCain's call to Obama

Mccain supporter — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 05:00:18 GMT

Of course Obama needs Mcains help. Now there's no one to point fingers at and go an opposite direction. Good luck Obama, you'll need all the help you can get. We all know you lack the experience and the knowledge to know that 1 man is not a miracle worker. It's up to our US corporations and economy to change a direction. Good luck.

This country survived four years of Carter and got Pres. Reagan. We can survive four years of obama/pelosi/reid and hope for the same wonderful outcome in 2012. (I hope)
The outcome of this election is even more depressing than in 2004. Tomorrow morning will see an America still very much divided.
It was a good run for Senator McCain. He lost tonight, but more importantly, so did my country.

Tiffany, Just a town in Wyoming! — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 05:40:42 GMT

I think that we have a really under educated America! The sad thing is Obama has a great speech ability...that's why he hired people to write his speeches and maybe he didn't but he hired someone to find the right words to say so that he could win, highly doubt he can act on all his promises...I wish America could've done the math, but that's due to under educated people...and realized that taxes and the economy aren't going to change...more teachers, more money, more this more that, how are we going to get all this MORE??? that's right taxes...have you ever done the research and realized that Illinois is all democratic including the governor and have you ever realized that Illinois has the highest taxes in the U.S. yep 10.25% and on top of that they have one the highest murder rates in America, in fact more people were killed in Illinois than in Iraq in a years time...where is Obama from, that's right Illinois and yes he has much to do with the economy and the running of Illinois and the sad thing is he is now our U.S. president and thanks to the uninformed citizens and the people that just listened to words of change...I hate how people have said that Palin was not qualified enough to run a country, what has Obama done? he's a first time senator in the white house, at least Palin has run a state and been a commander and chief of a National Guard that is the only National Guard on duty 24/7 everyday of every year!!! Not qualified right, at least she has a background to build off of and isn't starting right at the bottom but I guess we know where our priorities are we like starting all over with a socialist from the ground up and destroying what this country has worked so hard for...It's a shame we had to vote for our president based on "history" making and the last president, we can't take our dislikes of George W. Bush out on John McCain they aren't the same person!!! I hope you all enjoy your new president all I hope that you can find all the promises that he made, but I just don't see it happening...I hope that he does a good job but I just don't see it happening...Oh and one more thing we may be leaving Iraq soon but say hello to our ALLIE yes our friend Pakistan and enjoy another war but it will all be downhill from there!

anna cook, Warner Robins, GA, age 73. — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 05:44:11 GMT

The work start now, but all toghether we can do it. Barack is an inspired leader, his intelligence, his passion, his classy demeneor, commands the proud response of his supporters, and the respectful loyalty of all other Americans. He is our President. I pry to God, that he keeps his fate, his courage his determination for a meaninful change of course, tha will benefit all american, even those that vilified him. It is time to forget our differences, lets all pull togheter. It is a heavy load facing Obama, lets all of us help him pull it, and lets guard his back.
we can do honor to ourself and regaign some of the faith ans hope that was lost. God bless America and
our new President and also John McCain that has given so much admirable service to this Contry. I believe he can still offer much, a good senator is precious, but we need a 21st century mind, new idea and the energy and grace tha Barak has demostrated, asking and considering advice from any one with special expertise. that is the paradigm of a great mind, the ability to enrich itself by evaluating and considering the experience of others.

Kevin, Clermont, Florida — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 05:45:31 GMT

I used to be a republican, and am retired from the Navy, ETC(SS), USN(Ret). But I'm not a Democrat either. The bipartisan system is SEVERLY flawed, and I am now registered independent...hmmmmm...where were the candidates this year?...anyhow:

Stop bashing McCain OR Obama! My choice would have been McCain, based on his experience and his supreme military record, and thus I voted...but guess what? Obama is our commander in chief! Get over it, move on, and support our new president! He is a good man, and lets give him a chance!

In 4 years, we'll have a chance to reevaluate the man...and maybe I'll vote for him, and maybe I won't, based on his performance. But for now, he is my leader, and thus I will follow.

Christians: Stop screaming about Socialism and whining about this and that...Obama IS a Christian, despite the dubious nature of his former pastor. See what happens, trust your God, and do what the Book you CLAIM to believe tells you to do...support your appointed leaders!

One last thought...Democrats and Republicans, because of the Bipartisan system, and virtually inseparable anyway...except for the FAR left and right emotional issues, in the middle, the are all the same now anyway...sad but true.

Hey Dawn - you are in serious need of psychological counseling. Your bitterness is as toxic as poison. Take a deep breath and put down the gun - everything is going to be alright. If you love this country and are a real patriot, you will work to make it successful again so that we can lead the world into the 21st century. If not, then just stand aside and let this new wave of freedom loving Americans renew the promise of our great country.

M.D. Healy, Ulysses, PA — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 05:52:02 GMT

Looks to me like there are a lot of sore losers here. Probably the same people that cheered when the election was stolen from Al Gore in 2000. Well the American people have spoken and have said they want CHANGE in their government. One of the things that I noticed was the crowd booing as McCain mentioned Obama's name during his speech. While in stark contrast the Obama supporters cheered when President-elect Obama mentioned McCain. So, you tell me which group is more interested in the success of their country?

The Bush administration and their arrogance have destroyed the reputation of this country throughout the world. I was amazed at what I read today at the attitude of other countries about this election. I believe that we have turned a corner and are now on the road to the recovery of this nation. There is now a light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't a train, it is the light of day.

Congratulations President-Elect Obama!

As a college student I am proud to say I voted for President Obama; what our country has experienced due to the Republican Party and George Bush was Horrible & unacceptable. Obama will make life easier for the average college student. Its safe to say, based on what I saw tonight at the University of Rhode Island, the way people reacted and cheered, CHANGE was needed and we achieved that tonight.

This is scarey. Obama mocked God's word, the Bible, has voted for abortion, killing the unborn and homosexual rights. GOD CAN NOT BE MOCKED! The wicked will perish like the grass. Obama lied about Ayers, has corrupt friends everywhere, has an ungracias wife. I think CHANGE will come but it will not be the wonderful anticipated change. It will be the judgement of God on a Godless and hateful person. Remember that Jesus has promised to come again and He will judge. I pray for His mercy on a nation that has put up with pornagraphy and Hollywood and adultery and taken prayer out of the schools. America is in trouble.

Susan Golian, Costa Mesa, CA — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 06:12:07 GMT

I believe McCain lost because he chose to play to the worst in our collective natures - the posts above are rife with bigotry and unpleasantness, spawned by fear and willful ignorance. President-elect Obama is a courteous, thoughtful man whose speech and actions reflect deep Christian roots - you know - that "love thy neighbor" stuff? Nowhere in anything I've seen or heard from him is anything nearly as ugly as some of the stuff being spewed here. We have a chance to heal and become the nation we were meant to be - please try to step up and be the best, most respectful, most responsible person you can be - for the love of this beautiful country of OURS!
