McCain's Concession Speech

This was solid proof that John McCain is a good man. He handled his concession to President elect Obama with respect and dignity. He also tried to preserve the dignity of his former opponent. His pathos was strong. He promised to continue working hard for the future with all of the American people regardless of their political ties. His ethos was effective. He utilized quotes from Roosevelt and Washington that help to shine him in a good light. He acknowledged all who helped him and he praised the winners for this historic event in history. This speech was, overall, extremely well put together and executed.

I agree that McCain's speech showed him in a really good light. His speech did a great job of proving how much he cares about this country and that even though he would have loved to serve as the leader he respects all of Obama's efforts throughout the campaign and will support him in his presidency.

I agree with you Alex. McCain did an excellent job in his speech. He really wanted to unite this country despite his loss, and it was very graceful. I have to say that this speech showed that he could have made an excellent president.
