It wasn’t gracious, but unless you sing in the Obama’s Come to Save Us Choir you know it was a concession of defeat.
From USA Today:"Absolutely a lie, absolutely a lie."
So says Rev. Rick Warren about any suggestion that there was a TV or other monitoring equipment in the "green room" where Republican presidential candidate John McCain was waiting Saturday evening for his turn to go on stage for the pastor's "Civil Forum on the Presidency."
Warren talked to Beliefnet.com's God-o-Meter blog.
As we noted earlier, the McCain campaign strongly protested after NBC News' Andrea Mitchell said on the air yesterday that some aides to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama thought that McCain might have been able to listen as Obama and Warren were talking during the first half of the forum. McCain was supposed to be -- as Warren said when he opened the program Saturday -- in a "cone of silence."
Later, it became known that McCain hadn't yet arrived at Saddleback Church when the Obama-Warren part of the forum began. The GOP senator was in a motorcade on his way there. His aides have said he did not listen to start of the session while en route.The entire USA Today post is here.

Is there some revelation in those records (no longer publicly available) about St. Barack's relationship to William Ayers.

"you know it was a concession of defeat"
Hopefully, it will not be his last concession of defeat.

Ken: I sure hope you are right. If not, as Mike Nifong once said, "We're f***ed"!
