The Republican Has Knew It

Initially, my thoughts are:

• Mccain is too old and fragile.
• Obama is a black.

So, I don't think that Obama will actually win even though he looks like going to win. I still think that the Americans will vote for Mccain despite his age.

When Mccain delivered his concession speech, it seems to suggest that the Republican already knew that they don't stand a chance to win this election.

McCain expressed that he was sincere and had tried his best shot.

And this makes Sarah Palin looks so bad because it seems as if she was there just to take deliberate defeat. Had she knew it ?

Also, have other previous Republican candidates gave up earlier ?
