Farewell, Senator McCain. You might be the last honorable politician. But in this election, you took a knife to gunfight.

John McCain是属于上一代的政治家,很看重honor and decency. 但对当前的社会情况没有清楚的认识, 在大选中策略有些不对路.

他以为媒体还是公平报道的,而实际是媒体对他的负面报道和对手几乎是2:1.
他以为米国社会已超越了种族界限,而实际是95%的黑人投票支持他的黑人对手.
为了公平选举,他提出了竞选改革法案限制竞选金额.并身体利行. 而实际是他的对手根本不遵守承诺.从未知渠道酬得6亿美金.是他竞选资金的四五倍.
他以为作人的准则还是”Do not promise what you cannot deliver”,而实际是他的对手可以”promise anything”.

John McCain可能不愿相信他为之奋斗的米国的退化使他那种君子之争的竞选方式毫无胜机. 衷心祝愿他永远要发现这个真象.

美国的今天就是加拿大的明天, 现在最忐忑不安的恐怕就是哈勃了吧? -robins(robins); 2008-11-5 (#4820515@0)

小不死的问题不在于内政，而在于外交上的失败，得罪了大多数国家，使得美国的形象一落千丈。经济问题实际上民主党留下了很多垃圾，不幸让他赶上两个泡沫的破灭。 -weichen2005(微尘); 2008-11-6 (#4821485@0)

加拿大选民已经用选票肯定了哈珀的成绩，就不用替人忐忑不安了吧. -weichen2005(微尘); 2008-11-6 (#4821494@0)

Governor Palin, it is a pleasure knowing you! Hope see you around! -calgarian(目光似（比）月色寂寞); 2008-11-5 {835} (#4820542@0)

这次选举最大的发现就是Governor Sarah Palin. 当别人向我介绍她时,我觉得她是”Too good to be true”. 在她接受VP题名的那个晚上,看到Rodney, Huckabee和Giuliani等大佬精采的暖场演讲,让人担心Sarah这个新人会不会显得逊色.但这种但心只存在了十分种. 那晚,她的处女秀吸引了3700万观众.和O8那筹备很久的亮相不相上下.

她的第一场VP辩论前,媒体已经对她进行了几轮攻击,并造出舆论这场辩论如果她表现不好,McCain应该换人.当我看到她笑着对观众挤了一下眼睛时,我感觉到她是完全放松,像是在和朋友讲话.那晚,7000万人看了她的辩论,在美国历史上总统,副总统辩论中第二高.

Sarah的力量在于她不是个政客,这和俩位对手成了鲜明的对比.给对手造成了很大的威胁.所以整个竞选中,对手对她的攻击超过了对McCain.

不到俩个月,Sarah成了米国政坛的明星.随着媒体为O8涂抹的光环在现实中褪去,米国人民会认识到真正的Change要从Sarah Palin这样的人带来. Sarah Palin将会在米国联邦政治中活跃很长一段时期.

President Bush, when you leave the white house, keep your chin up! History will judge you in a much more favorable way. -calgarian(目光似（比）月色寂寞); 2008-11-5 {614} (#4820604@0)

现在在米国,MS人人都能踩上Bush一脚.可他们忘记了,如果不是Bush的领导,恐怖分子们的炸弹就不是在IRAQ爆炸,而是在他们的身边.

小Bush可以说是米国危难中的总统. 他从Clinton那里继承了经济泡沫和Recession.而他通过减税等一系列政策扭转了经济,造成了米国最长的连续职位增长,而米国的失业率也降到了3-4%.
Enron等问题爆发后,他大力加强了米国证券业的监管.很快就恢复了投资者的信心,Dow Jones指数也达到最高.
911后,小Bush果敢行动,不但拔除了塔里班和撒大木俩个最大的威胁,最重要的是在Clinton期间开始的对米国境内境外的攻击都消失了.

小Bush执政虽然有过失,但在面对很多困难的情况下,他尽到了米国总统保境安民的职责. 他的功过相信历史会还他一个公道

So sentimental! Never like Bush. Clinton is worse. Anyone who can not hold principles, should never lead the country. Let's see what O8's performance. -macdonald(Macdonald); 2008-11-5 (#4820695@0)

Freedom is not free, but unfortunately, the majority of people believe it should be free. Bush may be stubborn, but he has kept the America and much of the rest of world safe and free, for that he deserves credit. -omega4(omega); 2008-11-6 (#4821101@0)

It is very sad, but typical. Remember袁崇焕's fate? Therefore I think President Bush will be given much more respect in future generation. -calgarian(目光似（比）月色寂寞); 2008-11-7 (#4823693@0)

Retirement is the best option for John. Having fun with his young wife’s fortune and living a lavish life. 73yrs old now, how much time do you have? Enjoy BA. -axe(Just A Joke); 2008-11-6 (#4820942@0)

同感，通过这次竞选，共和党老麦和佩琳给我最大的感觉就是“真挚、诚实，为国鞠躬尽瘁”；反观O八的竞选，漫天的大话加上事实上的黑人种族主义，让我反感之极。 -binghongcha76(一只大猫); 2008-11-6 (#4821063@0)

“真挚、诚实，为国鞠躬尽瘁" JUST A JOKE!!! -axe(Just A Joke); 2008-11-6 (#4821126@0)

haha, ax 大姐大叔，i didn't see u asking me any .net questions this time.... -binghongcha76(一只大猫); 2008-11-6 (#4821220@0)

u mean C# 4.0? i will... if that will really hurt ur 脆弱的心灵，i would would feel sorry .. ^_^ -binghongcha76(一只大猫); 2008-11-6 (#4822429@0)

HAHAHA!!! My 脆弱的心灵? Baby, it's as hard as dimond. 比铁石心肠还要硬呢 -axe(Just A Joke); 2008-11-6 (#4822453@0)

哎，my god.... no words now... too tired... ok... you win... i run.... ^_* -binghongcha76(一只大猫); 2008-11-6 (#4822475@0)

You better Run and WIN in 2012 for Sarah! -axe(Just A Joke); 2008-11-6 (#4822541@0)

群众的眼睛是雪亮的。当你的感觉和大部分美国人民背道而驰的时候，请你反思自己的观点。 -appleclassical(自然醒); 2008-11-6 (#4821423@0)

没必要反思，他可以保留他的观点。民主就是这样体现的。 -kingsw(Steven); 2008-11-6 (#4821430@0)
那48%投老麦头票的人都要进行反思吗？ -szs11(钉子户); 2008-11-6 (#4821456@0)

这里面差不多40%是共和党的铁票.没什么好奇怪的. -shopmore(花朵朵); 2008-11-6 (#4821478@0)
不要。他们会被强制改造。。。I'm kidding。。。我只是觉得如果Obama如那只大猫说得那么不堪，那么选他的美国人都糊涂了？选民是要对自己的未来负责的，比我们这些没直接利益关联的人要慎重得多。Obama的政治观点，那只猫究竟真正理解过吗？ -appleclassical(自然醒); 2008-11-6 (#4821529@0)
Do you know how many people believe Obama is a muslim? About 15% to 20%. -viv(viv); 2008-11-6 (#4823520@0)

i 反思了一会，老麦47%，O8 52%，占人口25%的黑人100%投票给O八，然后如此接近的投票比率你很难说大部分人都支持O8。 -binghongcha76(一只大猫); 2008-11-6 (#4821521@0)

那选McCain的人中，有多少是纯粹因为歧视黑人而投McCain的票呢，你计算过吗？ -appleclassical(自然醒); 2008-11-6 (#4821536@0)

我没法计算，或许你可以给我一个计算方法。我只能通过我的感受来说，我在电视上看到的所有的黑人几乎全部变成了种族主义分子，只因为O8的肤色而骄傲 -binghongcha76(一只大猫); 2008-11-6 (#4821588@0)

First of all, most of black people vote for Democratic candidate. Also, Obama got higher percentage of white people vote than John Kerry in 2004. -viv(viv); 2008-11-6 (#4823540@0)

You doubled the number of black people. The population of black is 12.8% in US, not 25%. -viv(viv); 2008-11-6 (#4823555@0)

老麦是个硬老头，很有个性。当年要提升他为海军少将时，他得知他的仕途由于种种原因，再也不会像他祖父和父亲那样，最终成为美国海军上将，老麦依然以海军上校官位退役，老子少将不干了，从政去了。。。 -noproblem(。o O); 2008-11-6 (#4821455@0)

没机会上到更高位置就另拣高枝儿飞去了，也叫‘个性“？我倒是更佩服他娶到又正点又有钱的老婆，帮到他不少。 -windydays(风和日丽,不再windy); 2008-11-6 (#4821711@0)

I'm just wondering, how close did you follow this election? -viv(viv); 2008-11-6 (#4823515@0)

Senator McCain was a honorable politician, only in the very beginning and the very end of the election. But in the middle of the campaign, it is a riifferent story. He gambled the VP pick; he put the country at risk; -ttttt(左卍 or 右卐); 2008-11-6 (#4821107@0)

he did negative ads; he didn't tell the truth, most importantly, he never proves he has the ability to handle crisis. On the other hand, Obama stays on the high road all the time. -ttttt(左卍 or 右卐); 2008-11-6 (#4821111@0)
我也着实给McCain的concession speech感动了一吧。也纳闷之前他干嘛不充分调动他的感染力呢？ -appleclassical(自然醒); 2008-11-6 (#4821435@0)
McCain back to his old normal self from concession speech... During the campaign he was not himself. -windydays(风和日丽,不再windy); 2008-11-6 (#4821759@0)

Farewell, Senator McCain. You might be the last honorable politician. But in this election, you took a knife to gunfight.
