The McCain-Obama Call

Andrew Romano

McCain called Obama at 11 p.m. Eastern. What they said, courtesy of Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs:

Senator Obama thanked Senator McCain for his graciousness and said he had waged a tough race. Senator Obama told Senator McCain he was consistently someone who has showed class and honor during this campaign as he has during his entire life in public service.

Senator Obama said he was eager to sit down and talk about how the two of them can work together--Obama said to move this country forward "I need your help, you're a leader on so many important issues."

Congratulations to Mr. Obama for an impressive win.  I voted for McCain, but honest congrats are in order.  I will be watching to see if his policies, appointments and actions are in keeping with his pledge to do things from the middle.  Time will tell.  One early indicator will be when he reaches the White House.  Rumor has it he promised the pro-choice that the very first thing he would do as President is to abolish all current bans on abortion.  If he does that, it indicates that he is going to very liberal, and not govern from the middle.

I'll be watching, President Elect Obama.
