While I won't deny that they have their fair share of sore losers, I have to commend the McCain campaign and their supporters in the wake of Mr. Obama's victory. A great deal of Republicans and McCain supporters, including the head of Iowa College Republicans Greg Baker, have expressed maturity and willingness to give Barack a chance. Baker also expressed in a letter to the editor of the Daily Iowan the need to reach across the aisle and put aside political differences. Regardless of political affiliations, it's time that we stand together as a country and find a way to put a stop to our economic crisis, among other things. Either way, let's put aside our political differences, if only for a few months, after this long build-up to the election.
The one thing I still do wonder about (and I say this as an Obama supporter), is whether Democrats would have displayed the same level of maturity the Republicans have displayed if McCain had won the election. I hate to bring down my own party, but I have serious doubts that we would see that behavior.
Lastly, I don't know if any of you happened to be watching CNN for your election night coverage, but they unveiled the greatest invention in television history: the hologram. And since it's election night, who do they interview? Will.i.am of the Black-Eyed Peas, of course. I mean, duh, it's a no-brainer.
much respect,
josh
