Watch: John McCain's concession speech video

Thursday, 6 November 2008

John McCain addresses the 7,000 supporters who had crammed into the Biltmore Hotel and congratulates Barack Obama on his election victory.

"Senator Obama and I have had and argued our differences," he said. "No doubt those differences remain. But these are difficult times for our country. And I pledge to him tonight that I will help him lead us through the many challenges that we may face."

"I urge all Americans to join me in not just congratulating him, but in offering our next president our goodwill and encouragement in finding ways to come together, to find the necessary compromises to settle our differences, to help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world and leave our children and grandchildren in a stronger better country than we inherited."

We are so proud of Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin. Together they would have made a great impact on our nation at a time when we need true loyality to our country.

Our family campaigned and wore the Republic party proudly during these past months. Together the moral and integrity of the Republican campaign was above reproach no matter how many times the other party tried to find fault with both Senator McCain and Governor Palin.

Our Family feels greatly disappointed in the election.

We will continue to watch Senator John McCain and Governor Palin and if they ever emerge again in the political area we will be there every step of the way to support them.

The liberal news media made me ashamed of how they treated Sarah Palin. She is a fine American, Wife, Mother, and Politician.
