Wow, I don’t regret not voting for McCain for a second. Every time I think about him and Palin in the WH as a team, I wipe my brow.

Had I been Obama, with his views on the war, I wouldn’t thank Bush for the Iraq war, either. But why would Obama open a such a can of worms to the detriment of his message tonight? He was better to focus on the positive outcome, which he did. He erred on the side of class. Regardless, he’s hated for it.

I could sleep like a baby at night knowing I disappointed the likes of John McCain.

Seconded…unlike Charles, I’m not going to apologize (even in jest) for voting McCain/Palin, because at the time, they seemed the most logical choice for me. However, knowing what we know now, I do think we dodged a huge bullet; Palin as VP (or POTUS, if McCain expired in office) scares me even more than Cheney ever did.
