McCain admonished his party toward their better instincts, saying "We are the party that came to Washington to reform it, but were corrupted by it." I think if anyone could have cleaned up the 'pubs, it was McCain.
McCain's story of how he was broken in Hanoi, ashamed, but not alone, how he found strength through his brothers in arms, and was nursed through this trial by his love for his country.
Obama talking to us about race like we were grown-ups.
Obama's epic of 106 years through the eyes of a black woman and his challenge to us to advance our country as our nation advanced through the lifetime of Ann Nixon Cooper.
Ben Affleck's impression of Olbermann.
Tina Fey's amazing impression of Palin.
Screwing wiith the dudes who follow talking points online. After a while, they won't even talk to you.
Worst
Rachel Maddow suffering from Election post-traumatic stress disorder--she drove me nuts!
Olbermann's nightly comments during the last two weeks leading up to the Election.
The Chaffey Community Republican Women's racist "Obama Bucks" graphic.
The constant allusions to John McCain's age and melanoma.
Sarah Palin--EVERYTHING!
California Prop 8 passing. Do the Mormons know the people they were funding hate them, too?
Mitt Romney prostrating himself before the Evangelicals, who didn't support him anyway.
TALKING POINTS!

Best:
The involvement of the electorate; record voter turnouts and real passion on both sides.
A return to grass roots organizing through use of the internet.
A significant, if modest, step forward on the issue of "race", and an opportunity to move beyond the racial posturing of the "older" generation.
A clear repudiation of the morally indefensible Neocon philosophy which took us into an unnecessary war.
McCain's concession speech and refusal to run racial attack ads.
Worst
Chris Matthews; the man no longer has a right to call himself a journalist. He's now a pundit.
What do you get when you take O'Reilly's bullying and Hannity's exaggerations...combined with a dose of steroids and self righteousness? Olbermann!!
The Palin interview with Couric. Utterly astounding.
The post election back-biting of the McCain team.
The hate-mongering of the radicals on both the Left/Right. Passion is good; fanatacism is not.
The media's lack of objectivity and transparent bias.
The entertainment industry's (comedians, talk shows, etc.)treatment of Hillary Clinton and Palin.
