McCain will depart from election-night tradition

[drmeow]

Sounds to me like someone is preparing to lose :)

NEW YORK – Republican John McCain is not going to make his election night remarks in the traditional style — at a podium standing in front of a sea of campaign workers jammed into a hotel ballroom.

But the Republican presidential nominee plans to address another group of supporters and a small group of reporters on the hotel lawn; his remarks will be simultaneously piped electronically to the party inside and other reporters in a media filing center, aides said.

1. I completely agree. This is completely out of the ordinary.

Unless it's really sinking in that you're going to lose.

5. Why doesn't he just make a few remarks

in the mens room and then leave out the back door.....and let it hit you on the way out asshole.

6. Yes my friends...

I'm a sore loser, so I'll not address you in person.Unbelievable.

7. He's not planning to commit seppuku out there, is he?

He may think the honor of the Republican Party, which he despoiled by running for president and losing, can only be restored by killing himself. Which isn't true...what Bush and Rove have done to that party cannot be erased with John McCain's blood.

8. But can what Sarah Palin

has done to the party be erased with John McCain's blood?

9. No. Maybe Karl Rove's blood, but not McCain's.
