McCain's speech.

The most common word to describe Senator McCain's speech last night was "gracious." Newsweek also describes some behind-the-scenes decisions made by the campaign which can only be described as honorable:

...no Jeremiah Wright; no attacking Michelle Obama; no attacking Obama for not serving in the military. McCain balked at an ad using images of children that suggested that Obama might not protect them from terrorism.

One hopes that both Obama and McCain meant it last night when they spoke of a true bipartisan effort on behalf of our country.
