McCain’s concession speech was, I have to say it, moving. He was classy. He was choking up a bit. “The failure is not yours,” he said to the faithful, “but mine.” The right-wing crowd booed, of course, when he said that Obama had triumphed because they’re crude, low-life brownshirts. But McCain said “please” and — you have to give him this much — conceded with dignity. His eyes were moist. His voice cracked just a bit. I slightly felt for him.
