If McCain had run as the man who made his concession speech, the man he ran as (for the most part) in 2000, they might still be arguing over recounts in Ohio and Pennsyltucky and Florida. As it was, by playing to the least common denominator, they dealt themselves out.
I'd like to think Obama would still have won, and I'm glad they made it so much easier, but I hope the GOP isn't going to become the party of Palin and her army of darkness white trash. The country needs a serious, principled, competent opposition to keep the governing party honest.
