To me just that small "snapshot" is exactly what I have come to expect from Republicans. They should at least have the manners to give their opponent a nod of respect for a campaign well run.

You are right Kathleen. Though, from personal experience, it's much easier to cheer when you won, then when you lost.
And McCain immediately stopped them, said "No no no!" which seemed really genuine. That was what impressed me most. It was like admitting that Obama was the better candidate, it was like saying "support him! he'll need it!". Maybe I am over-interpreting the whole gesture, but that was what I found to be most impressive. It's so difficult to be a good loser. Terribly difficult.
