A gracious and graceful concession from Phoenix. A thoughtful and inspiring speech in Chicago. Both sets of remarks notable for their humility and compassion. In eleven weeks, we’ll have a new president. Here’s to better times for all of us.

I don’t understand… What does a 7-year-old U2 video, which, let’s face it, is kind of generic, though the song is good, have to do with the Election?
Cheers to that – may this be the start of better times for us all.
Hate to be a nitpicker, but in the United States we pronounce our H’s, your Caption should read “A Historic.”
Thanks, bb. I was about to nitpick the same thing! Putting an “an” there just perpetuates a seriously annoying grammatical tic that many people unfortunately think is correct.
@ bb and malie: You are, of course, correct — and I used the wrong adjective form as well (‘historical’ is used to describe something related to history; I meant ‘historic’). Thanks for the heads up. No more posting after midnight for me.
Thanks so much! I had this song in my head when I was walking into work today! So appropriate! I even had that CD in when I clicked on this link.
