"While I'm not by any stretch a fan of McQueeg, I do believe the proper etiquette in such things is for the defeated to call the winner and offer congratulations.

In this case I don't see the need. Bullshit etiquette has put us in the position we are in. I don't know about you but I am tired of being told to be gracious.

Hey, I voter against McCain, but what can you do when you have so many libs and uninformed people rushing into this state?
Our borders are open from all sides and we get lib voters from everywhere. A few years ago, this state was solid R. Look what immigration has done to us....

Does McCain have enough money left to buy Meghan a husband, like Cindy's dad bought John for her?

Any married guy interested in politics will do.

The lying weasel McCain doesn’t deserve a “courstesy” call after lying shamelessly about the issues and his opponent, and spending $21 million to smear Hayworth.

Now most people are on the McCain Flip/Flop/Flip/Flop/Flip...watch.

Amen to that!
Suppose they would have expected JD to “reach across the aisle” had he won? Just beacuse it is what’s been done in the past?
That’s the problem with DC- what’s been done in the past without getting thrown in jail!

It will be worse with a Democrat. Contrast John Kerry's voting record with John McCain's and tell me you see no difference. People focus on the Immigration Reform Issue which is important and a deeply flawed vote. However, conservatives could commit suicide this fall by not voting for any RINOs -- there are too many of them but usually the primary is the place to defeat them as has happened this year in several cases. Hayworth wasn't the quality candidate conservatives have to back / choose. He had his own history.

If McCain had done half the dirty tricks to Obama that he dished out to JD, we be calling him President McCain!
Watch how he handles his campaign against the Dem. Bet he goes back to making nicey-nice. He never met a dem he didn’t like, “my friend”.

If I was JD I wouldn’t give mclame the time of day. McLame spent 21 million dollars lying about JD.

I understand fully that civility and courtesy have all but disappeared from our popular culture and from many aspects of our public life, but the traditional pol to pol post-election call is still in order.

Refusing to call just makes JD look small, and I don’t believe that is his nature.

And cap-and-tax. McCain authored that one too.

And campaign finance "reform." Oops, McCain was at the heart of that one too.

And his opposition to the tax cuts.

And his advances towards running as John Kerry's VP in 2004.

And his unabashed support of Federal bailouts.

And his collusion with the KLA during the Kosovo War. Nevermind that the KLA is affiliated with al-Qaeda.

And let's not forget McCain's "bipartisan cooperation" with John Kerry in the early '90s to abandon U.S. POWs and MIAs in Vietnam as he embraced his Vietnamese "friends."

FUJM!

I get my tv online thru a FL station. The Scott/McCollum ads were as low on both sides as any I’ve heard. That said, McCollum DID make the traditional courtesy call, then issued his broadside.

I don’t know the details of the Scott affair, so can’t judge. BUT I would remind folks that it’s taken years for Tom DeLay to be cleared, all the while scandal hanging over his head and ending his Congressional career, because of over-eager prosecutors.

If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."

"King McPain bought his election, AGAIN!"

Yep....the same Sen. McPaingold who has a bill with his name on it which passed and was designed to take "too much" business money out of campaign financing.

What did he spend in Arizona with a population of about only 6 mil or so.....wasn't it 30 mil greenbacks?

I guarantee you that kind of money didn't all come from Joe Six-Pack or from his buddies, the illegals.

The old fraud....I wouldn't call him if the world was crashing to an end around me and he had the only emergency phone left.

Go, JD!

“Bullshit etiquette has put us in the position we are in. I don’t know about you but I am tired of being told to be gracious.”

Amen! JD gave a very nice speech on election night, and that’s enough.

Say, maybe JD is calling and McCain’s cell phone is an Apple with antenna problems. Hey, McCain, I hear those cell phones work better if you stick’em where the sun don’t shine. Try that and see if you get better reception!
