"Sen. Obama and I have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed. No doubt many of those differences remain. These are difficult times for our country. And I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face," McCain said in his concession speech Tuesday night.
And how did the crowd react? Angrily and bitterly...Well, this is no surprise when one considers the very serious and potentially character damaging comments that McCain and Palin made about Obama. McCain's followers are now left feeling wary, according a report by CNN.
I know that McCain said that he will work with Obama for the better of the American people and while that may be true, McCain has to consider something. His supporters may not be ready to jump on the Obama band wagon that's headed for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. McCain made very serious accusations about Obama. His team insinuated that he was a terrorist-loving liberal who was teetering on socialist. And McCain's supporters backed him as heavily as Obama supporters pushed for their candidate. So, I do believe that the proof will be in the pudding. It may take a great deal to ease some of the nervous tension felt by those who subscribed to the accusations that Obama was a Muslim among other things. Seeing Obama in action and creating policies that create tangible improvements in their lives may be the only thing that will allow McCain supporters to breath more easily. Now of course everyone will not and does not have to like the President, such is evident with President George W. Bush.
