It was bound to happen, and thankfully it did. Either way, I hope John McCain shall go back to being a maverick in the Senate:
A few excerpts from the Reuters article:
HICAGO (Reuters) – President-elect Barack Obama and vanquished rival John McCain met for the first time since the November 4 election on Monday, pledging to work together to face the financial crisis and other national challenges.
“We’re going to have a good conversation about how we can do some work together to fix up the country,” Obama said, adding that he wanted to offer his thanks to McCain for his “outstanding service” to the country.
McCain, when asked generally whether he was hoping to help the Democratic president-elect, replied: “Obviously.”
McCain, a Republican Arizona senator, is unlikely to want or be offered an administration post but he promised in a gracious concession speech on November 4 to work with the president-elect.
Say what you want, it is a testament to the US democratic system that both the winner and the loser of a Presidential election can sit down and discuss amicably after the election is over.
