grace under pressure...

Whoa. McCain's acceptance speech really was a class act, and lets me see a little into what the people who wanted him, saw in him. I think I heard him use the word "love" five times, which is five times more than I ever heard him use that word in any of the debates or sound bites... he was restrained, and respectful, and classy, and supportive, and inclusive, and I am pretty impressed at his demonstration of his "reaching across the aisle" skills...

i can't WAIT till someone Youtube's Barack's acceptance speech!!!

eeeeee!!!

Edit: WOW. Jeff found Obama's speech to be overly dramatic.

I liked the, Yes, we won, Yes we Can. Now, Let's Get to Work.


Yes. That.

I agree about McCain's speech. I was very impressed -- especially by the fact that he seemed to mean every word.

He did a very good job. Oddly, I suspect he is relieved.

Fuck yeah, wouldn't YOU be??

You may WANT something and still be relieved you didn't get it, if it would be as big an honor as it would be a burden...
