2008 concession and victory speeches
While I went back and re-listened to the victory and concession speechs of Obama and McCain I was noticeing that they both said very respectful speeches. I really enjoyed McCain's speech especially. He was not bashing Obama at all and he was very focused on the future of America. He lovese this country and made it very obvious. He brought out Obama's grandmother, which at first thought could be a little weird, but in the end I felt like he was just being sencere. He developed alot of ethos with his respect for what the outcome was and blaming it on him. The audience was the people of Arizona as well as the whole United States of America, as it was televised. The people shown on TV watching him seemed to really respect him and understand him well. I also looked at the video of Palin on webiolography on Ecollege. This interview was very interesting to me. I thought she stayed in contol and really just wishes the best future for America. In the end, I feel that all the candidates were truly in it for the future of the country and the people. I thought McCain's concession speech was one of his best speeches. It ended up leaving him on really good terms with America.

I agree with your point on how you think McCain's speech affected the opinions of Americans. I also agree with the point you made about Sara Palin. Maybe I good idea for your speech would try to figure why she wanted to do that.
McCain and Obama's speeches both seemed to show that they were trying to look out for the best of the country, and not seeking only selfish purposes. I didn't know much about what had happened with Palin, but I'm glad that you watched that and were able to add that in, especially since she had been such a vital part, (or at least media-focused) of this election.
