As I prepared to write a post congratulating president Barack Obama, and Indiana, the state I live in, for its role, John McCain’s concession speech came on TV. McCain spoke of his genuine admiration for Obama, and eloquently articulated the historic significance of this moment in our nation’s history.
I hope that McCain’s supporters will join him in his offer of goodwill as he asked them to, and in his recognition that what matters is working together to create an environment in which the ideas that continue to separate so many in our nation can continue to be debated and discussed, as we work together to uphold our democracy and the freedoms that enable us to disagree so freely.
Congratulations America, and congratulations Indiana, for making history!
