A post from November 2008

Over the last 25 years, John McCain has been in the middle of just about federal issue. He has been a voice of reason. He has stood up to everybody, including his own party whenever necessary.

Last night, Sen. McCain gave a wonderful concession speech.

It was very sad to watch such a career end in defeat. However, it did. I guess timing is important in politics.

Why did McCain lose? I think that it's tough to win 3 in a row. Just ask Nixon '60, Humphrey '68, Ford '76 and Gore '00.

Reagan is the only president who was succeeded by his own party. It happened in 1988 when VP Bush defeated Dukakis.

We say thank you to McCain.

Of course, McCain will be around until 2012 when his term expires. My guess is that he will be a key player in the US Senate again, specially as we rebuild the party along taxes and spending.

Thank you Sen. McCain! I spoke about Sen. McCain and the election in general in today's radio show.
