Regardless of your point of view on the election, I observed two things tonight that epitomize good leadership in the speeches of John McCain and Barack Obama. In McCain’s very gracious concession speech he made the comment that the failure of the campaign was his alone, not that of his supporters. In contrast, Obama stated that the victory was not his, but rather belonged to his supporters. Those two things are fantastic examples of leadership.
