    In his concession speech, Senator McCain, after calling Obama a "good man," said:

    "I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face. I urge all Americans, I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will ... Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans. And please believe me when I say no association has ever meant more to me than that."

    USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
