He showed us the man he was before the campaign. If he had behaved as well during the campaign – and chosen a moderate running mate instead of an arch-conservative – election night might not have ended so early. I say that, but then I recall the sea of white in the audience at his speech. Not a lot of color there, especially compared with the crowd at Obama's rally. On another note, and it may just be coincidence, I haven't heard as many horns honking or sirens blaring downtown since election night. Maybe we're more patient with each other now that we know 85% of us supported Obama. Maybe we're still in the honeymoon phase. Or maybe it's just the weather. But there does seem to be a noticeable difference. His concession speech really was what his campaign should have been all along. He showed us the man he was before the campaign.
