Two very different campaigns, shown by CNN cutting from Obama's speech to McCain's

You can see it in the YouTube below. At about minute 3:05 CNN's gay Anderson Cooper interrupts Obama's inspiring, energetic, new speech to switch over to McCain's victory speech (both candidates won all three Potomac primaries last night: DC, MD, and VA).

And what a speech McCain's was. He was speaking as if it were 1953 and the U.S. had just bowed to the imposing force of Red China and a nuclear USSR. Such gems as--and these are direct quotes--we are fighting people who "despise our freedom," the Democrats will try to "placate implacable foes," and America is "the last best hope on Earth."

Heavy. And I love the six old white men behind McCain compared to 17,000 people packed into an arena in University of Wisconsin. I need to send Obama more money.
