No. The tradition in civilized US politics is for the loser of an election to call the winner, congratulate him and wish him well, even if he won’t endorse. Even McCollum did that.
JD has won enough elections to know the protocol. I am sure he expected and received a call in every one of the elections he won. For him not to call McCain is a form of poor sportsmanship and doesn’t make sense from what I’ve known of Hayworth.
Times have changed.........
JD thanked McCain in his concession speech. McCain spent millions painting JD as something he wasn’t, even before JD got into the race, the dirt tricks from McCain in this race would have made any democrat proud, I don’t blame JD, he kept it clean while he was royally smeared. Too bad McCain didn’t run for POTUS with the same gusto.

McCain ran the dirtiest campaign I’ve ever seen. Talk about breaking ettiquete. Sheesh.
