Thanks for sharing! This is a great piece. I also loved McCain’s concession speech, and I’m sorry he didn’t make it to the presidency. He was, I think, an intelligent and honest man with a sense of humor. He was a provoker of thought and a leader. He really loved this country.
The 2008 election was the last really good one I remember. I think he was right about outside influences destroying our political climate:we need to work actively against that, and about cultivating civility among ourselves, as things have vastly deteriorated since he made those remarks. And well, he was spot-on about Iran and Afghanistan, and Iraq. Certainly this post makes us remember that we could use him now, and we miss him.

Indeed. He is deeply missed. Thank you.
