I'm not at all sorry for McCain. I'm just disappointed that he didn't run a better campaign, one which did not indulge in character assassination and guilt by association. He deserved to lose, and I'm proud that the majority of voters saw through those attacks and voted for the better man.

However, McCain did deliver a fine concession speech and will have ample opportunity to take a leadership role in passing much needed bipartisan legislation initiated by the Obama Administration.
