摘要

Nothing became John McCain's campaign like the ending of it. In a graceful and even moving concession speech on election night, he urged all Republicans to put aside their partisan differences and support Barack Obama as he grapples with the many challenges facing America. His audience was less than equally gracious; but that is hardly his fault.rnThere have been a few reminders in the closing stages of his doomed campaign of why Americans once fell in love with the guy. Another was his appearance on "Saturday Night Live" on November ist. Standing next to Tina Fey-the woman whose impersonation of Sarah Palin has done more than anything to turn his campaign into a punchline-Mr McCain made light of his predicament. He could not afford half-an-hour of airtime on the major channels, like his rival, he claimed; so he was appearing on the shopping channel, making his case as best he could while also trying to "sell you some stuff", such as a limited edition of "Joe action figures"-Joe the Plumber, Joe Sixpack and Joe Biden (pull the cord and he talks for 45 minutes). He also brought the house down at the Al Smith memorial dinner on October 16th.
