I was literally sickened by the premature concession of John McCain. Like passing a horrible crash on the highway, I couldn't not look, at the televised speech.

I noticed then, that the old goat looked oddly relieved, even happy. The only sad faces and the only tears shed on that stage, belonged to Sarah and Todd Palin. And, they were not allowed to speak.

Did he literally "throw" the election? I don't know that I'd go so far. But, there were plenty of cues all along, that McCain was aware of what was to come, whether it turned out to be him in the hotseat, or his opponent Barack Obama.

The entire election process made me glad (yet again) that I don’t have TV. My memory is such that it can be very hard to scrub sights and sounds out of it.
