Obama wins, period

As I listened to McCain's gracious and conciliatory concession speech I wondered where this John McCain had been. If he had used more of that kind of rhetoric on the campaign trail he would have been a more formidable opponent. It makes me wonder if he hadn't planned it this way all along. The negative campaigning, the choice of a running mate, are almost like a part of him wanted to take the dive. Being the good soldier that he is he may have been going through the motions as a duty to his party.
