"Today, I was a candidate for the highest office in the country I love so much, and tonight, I remain her servant," he said.

McCain's running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, was standing with him, but she did not speak.

Obama thanked McCain for his graciousness and said he had waged a tough race.

if mccain had given more speeches like that over the last couple of months the race would have been a lot closer. that was more lofty and inspiring than i've heard him since his acceptance speech at the republican convention.

Usually I get upset about black people being called African-Americans when they nor their parents or grandparents have ever stepped foot in Africa, but Obama really is in fact an African-American, I hadn't really thought about that.

I didn't see any of the speeches and I fell asleep....but...I heard that McCain did give one excellent speech....and that's good cause now they both have to work together in the special session of the Congress that's coming up soon.

Kola....we finally agree on something 100%. A very gracious loser and Obama was a humble winner. Maybe we could all learn a lesson from these two.
