McCain, a 72-year-old Arizona senator and former Vietnam War prisoner, called Obama to congratulate him and praised his rival’s inspirational and precedent-shattering campaign. 

Senator McCain went out with class. I was very impressed with his speech. It sort of shock me to hear him speak sincerely about Obama and this great accomplishment. If you missed it, here’s the youtube video. “We have come to the end of a long journey,” McCain told supporters. “I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him but offering our next president our goodwill.”
