I'll support him, but I'll also feel free to disagree with him... loudly and long... when and if I feel he's wrong (I think I'll have LOTS of opportunity in this space...).

McCain's concession speech was the class act of the evening; Obama's speech wasn't bad, either.<BR/><BR/>Your post is the first thing I've read today. I was up until around 0400 this morning watching all the brouhaha; gonna pour my first refill and give some thought to what it is I'll post today....Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-26028630666558087322008-11-05T10:16:00.000-06:002008-11-05T10:16:00.000-06:00Amen Lou!

The damage will be severe...I just pray that we can withstand it down the road.
