Prediction for what will occur around 10:30pm on November 4th...


John McCain will come out and give one of the most magnanimous concession speeches we've heard in quite some time.


It will cause many Democrats (and pundits) to say,


"If *THAT* John McCain had been around for the entire campaign, he might not have gotten his doors blown off tonight. He let his campaign get overrun by the remnants of the Bush/Rove machine and he paid a major price."



Similar to all the things the pundits and GOP said about Al Gore on December 12, 2000.

1. John McCain
couldn't give a magnanimous speech if his life depended on it.

5. Sorry, but
he's just not capable. Even if he says the nicest things, he comes off as insincere.

6. His concession speech will be judged magnanimous
if he doesn't curse the American people while kicking Sarah Palin in the cooter.

8. We won't see a concession speech until the next day, possibly never.
That's my prediction, but I think you have a good chance of being correct.

9. Not this time, he will spell out why he is the best candidate
and pledge to work together with President Obama in the most self aggrandizing manner possible.
