Now with Democrat Barack Obama having been elected the next president of the United States, maybe some expected Republican John McCain, who lost the elections on November 4 to the former, to try and justify his failure. Possibly by finding someone to cast the blame on, such as his running-mate Sarah Palin, who has come into much criticism and not to mention mockery ever since she was chosen by the GOP as the party’s vice-presidential nominee.

Nevertheless, everybody who was waiting for McCain to start pointing fingers must have been surprised this Tuesday, when the candidate was featured on the “Tonight Show,” making his first public appearance since he gave his concession speech on Election Day.

Show host Jay Leno, alongside the audience, got to hear McCain state that except his personality, which is a very ambiguous and unsatisfying explanation, he found fault with nobody where losing the elections was concerned.

No, not even Palin, whom the Republican deemed as being part of the GOP’s next generation of major political figures, along with Bobby Jindal, Louisiana governor and Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota governor.

Moreover, in order to prove he knew how to accept defeat with dignity, John McCain spoke in high acclaim of president-elect Barack Obama, urging Americans once again to lend the latter their full support, adding that the Democrat had inspired millions of youngsters.

When Jay Leno asked McCain whether he would be running for president once again in 2012, he stated that it was time for the United States to be led by a new generation, hoping that he could contribute to the nation’s progress, but not from its helm.
