Depends Upon My Mood..
McCain's speech was gracious and Obama's was inspiring.
It's been a good night.

My county voted for Obama (with 66% reporting)!!! Utah's making progress.
I asked this question elsewhere: how do you think a Democrat could win Utah? If one campaigned and gave support behind the Mormon church?

You mean specifically the presidential race? You know that the mayor of SLC is a Dem, right? Not just a Dem, a decided liberal.
If the Republicans had nominated Huckabee, Utah would have voted for Obama.

Salt Lake County's mayor is a democrat also and is winning reelection with about 66% of the vote. My county representative and US representative are Democrats. Salt Lake City's mayor isn't as liberal as Rocky Anderson was (thank god), but he is a democrat.
Utah's Republican governor is winning reelection with 77% of the vote right now. He's pretty popular...

How is that possible? I'm curious because I'd like to see Utah go blue one day - or at least not red.

Here is the good mayor's web page on diversity and human rights:
Mayor's Office of Diversity
Note the references to Pride week and transgender awareness.
My understanding is that while Utah is decidedly conservative, Salt Lake City is relatively liberal. I think that's just the nature of cities.

I wouldn't say that Salt Lake is liberal. I think it has a good balance of liberal, moderate, and conservative. There is a pretty large University here and a very young population which contributes to the diversity.
I couldn't help but compare what I heard coming from McCain's mouth to what I remember from the 2000 election nightmare. I honestly didn't vote for a single democrat in 2004 because of the way the party accepted the 2000 defeat. I think a lot of others felt that way also and wonder how much the 2000 fiasco carried over into 2004.
McCain's speech won't hurt the Republicans in 2012. I thought it was very encouraging for bringing our country back together.

Hey, I said relatively liberal.
It's liberal enough to elect a mayor that supports BGLT rights.

Whereas I STILL think that election was stolen and that Gore caved too easily.
McCain was gracious, but you have to admit that Obama's victory was far more decisive.
As bad a president as Bush may have been, I'm still glad he was elected over Gore.
Obama's victory was much more decisive. He was a better candidate than Gore, Bush, McCain, or Kerry. Hopefully, he'll be able to live up to the expectations!
