I was thinking last night, after being disappointed at McCain's loss, about how blessed we are even to be able to vote for our country's leader. So, so many nations in this world do not get that opportunity and are stuck with whoever was next in line or whoever happened to conquer their nation. This is truly a blessed nation, even with all the quirks and imperfections, and I'm proud to be an American. I'm not upset that Obama won. Every four years about half of all Americans experience their candidate losing the presidential race. I guess it's just my turn. And so, as John McCain said last night,
"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.
"I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.
"Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that."
