Give the President-Elect a chance to actually take the oath on 1-20-08. You guys are acting like the campaign is still going on, it's over....
I will say, I though McCain's concession speech was excellent.
I have to agree he even held off some of the booing when it started. He said he will work with the pres-elect only time will tell if it was just a show or not.

i'm just spitting this out there, but wouldn't it be cool if Obama ask McCain to be a member of his cabinet? That would definately be crossing party lines. If he did, would John accept the offer?
well McCain said that he would do anything to help him out but I think there are to many differences for it be a good thing to do.

you probably are right, i guess it's just a little wishful thinking. even though i didn't vote red, i think there might be some useful wisdom under that old man's hat.

You mean like when kerry offered him the veep spot. Now that mccain doesn't have a chance to get nominated again, he may just take it.

Conservatives already considered him a democrat anyway, so I wouldn't be surprised if McCain asked for a position.

Anyone notice the stark contrast between the crowd at the McCain rally and the Obama rally in the park? I don't think there was a single non white at McCain's rally and I find this to be rather telling.
I bet there aren't any terrorists there either

That conservatives are out of touch with an American base that is becoming more progressive. My point was that the McCain crowd is an example of who his base is...white, evangelical, under educated and has zero diversity. Based on the exist polls I saw, Obama had a lot more support from college eductated white Americans and I think this is a great thing!
Just keep thinking that way

Of course this won't happen but maybe they'll figure out that being a reach across the isle sellout isn't going to win you any elections or approval points, (see W Bush).

I about puked when I read that. Jackson is a two faced lying SOB. Just a few months ago he was saying he was going to castrate Obama, what a phony
Okrah is OK. Classy lady even if I do think she is a poor judge of political character

A politician will never be able to do it. If he makes much of a push for programs minorities favor whites will see it as favoritism and if he doesn't he will be branded as a sell out. No win situation
