McCain Supporters Booing

I also thought it was horrible the way that the crowd was booing during McCain's speech. It really shows the intelligence of the members of the audience that were there in front of McCain. It made me wonder why they were booing - because an African American won, or because a Democrat won, or because McCain lost, or because a Republican lost, or what exactly? It was just in very poor taste to be booing like that. Talk about sore losers. I would never boo if McCain had won, or for anything like this. You really have to support the winner of the Presidential election, whether you voted for the winner or not. That is the new President, and the leader of the country. We stand united behind whoever the newly elected President is. I hope those people get past this and help to repair this country. This is the United States of America, not the Divided States of America. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

It is pretty much expected, at least there wasn't screaming about "terrorist" and other nasty things like there had been during the campaign cycle.

I didnt watch the election etc...but did they really? Thats just wrong IMO...Did McCain react to it (the booing) in any way?

It's not unexpected and has happened before. Just people showing their disappointment.

everybody is entitled to his/her reactions...but, i agree that booing is not a good one...i have nothing against Obama or McCain...but Obama won and it is a fact...the majority had spoken...

Give them a break they were deeply disappointed. Sure it was not the right thing to do but this election has really run of a lot of emotions on both sides. They backed who they thought was the better candidate and they lost. It is very upsetting for them. I am sure if Obama had lost that some people would have behaved a little badly too. Give it a little while, bad feelings will calm down. Personally I did not vote for Obama. I am very disappointed that he won. But I will get over it. In fact I am already thinking about the next election. And if the republican party is smart they will do a lot of soul searching and start thinking about it now too.

I so agree with you. There is no need for booing... It's time to move on & accept who won & show support no matter what, because the President deserves it. Obama put a good fight up & he is now the President of the United States. Love it or move on.

Let them have their emotional outbursts. For the record though, while we should respect the office, there is no reason to automatically start respecting the man just because he won. He has been given the opportunity to earn our respect, it is his to earn or to destroy.

Well i guess it was an outburst of emotions after knowing that their candidate openly admitted his decision to back out of the election already and tried to call his opponent to congratulate him. I guess its just a way to show the public that he is just playing being a sportsman in this political arena. I think he just did the right manner than griping and creating more havoc.

I agree that it was disheartening when his supporters started booing. But what I was really surprised about is a news story that I heard that said that people at the McCain party in Phoenix didn't have any news on while the results were being played out. They showed a few early states when McCain was winning and then when he started to lose they shut it off. I was very impressed when the peope in Chicago started cheering when Obama was giving his "kudos" to McCain. But if you look at the crowds it was two totally different dynamics. Even before results were announced there seemed to be a different kind of energy at the Obama ceebration.

I guess it is to be expected..imagine if Obama lost what do you think some of his supporters would of done.

I think you are 100% right. I voted for John McCain, but I can respect the new office. I may not agree with everything from either candidate, but I support my country 100%. I was also disappointed in the fact that McCain supports were not "good sports" in the end. It is too bad that we can not come together as Americans. That is what this is all about in the end. If we as a country can come together to fix this we are in trouble. This isn't about one African American man or even one female Alaskan govenor. It is about our children's future and our countyr's welfare. I am glad that you feel this way too, regardless of our parties affiliation.

i think mccain was trying to be a good sport and respect the other voters decision .we should respect him back for this

yes i agree with you. whats done is done, and nobody can change it, so the McCain supporters need to just accept it. Although I support Obama, I still have much respect for McCain. They all worked very hard in the elections, and Obama just got lucky. Today at school was crazy. People were argueing over this situation, and people almost got into fights! It was truly disrespectful when people started saying that Obama would eventually get shot, thats harsh & totally unnecessary. Instead of being complete immature haters, they need to take it and accept it that Obama has won the presidential election.

That's how election is my friend. When one doesn't win there will be negative. I am a Obama fan (although I cannot vote) but I was equally proud of McCain last night when he conceded. His speech was nice and it was also welcoming after that abusive campaign. I think that his supporters will so get over it and the harmony will come back alive again.
