Congradulations Mr. President!

One can only wonder, had McCain taken the high road through this presidential
campaign, if the outcome could have been different. Perhaps not - clearly, the
electorate was disgusted with the Republican Party and may not have shown any
quarter.

Ironically, I think his whole approach to the campaign (including
choosing Palin) was an effort on his (or his handlers') part to try to
win back the rabid right element who never really supported him in the
first place. In pandering to them, he just alienated moderates even
more.

In any case, there is reason to be hopeful that McCain will provide a
positive contribution to the raising of the ship of state, before he rides off
into retirement.

And hopefully Palin goes back to doing whatever it is she was doing
before, never to be heard from again on the national scene.

And so now we wait and watch as the next Administration is formed - and hope
that the current, disgraced Administration goes away quietly...

My only concern is that the current administration has no reason to
care about what they leave behind for the new administration.
