He was scarred by the torching he received at the hands of Karl Rove in the SC primary then, and I hate that McCain resorted to negative campaigning against Obama. I thought these two men were trying to elevate the discussion of what needs to happen to improve America, and then we got bogged down in ACORN and Bill Ayers.

It has been particularly troubling to me how each side has expressed its fear of the other side winning this election... and I am guilty of this myself. <BR/><BR/>In fact, I never imagined the Republicans in power would "allow" a McCain loss... I honestly assumed the election would be stolen. After Senator McCain's gracious concession speech, I am ashamed of myself.<BR/><BR/>It's sobering to think that the reality is somewhere in the middle, between the hardened partisan views. God give us all the eyes to see that.Magdalene6127https://www.blogger.com/profile/11036211735489393308noreply@blogger.com
