An odd thing happened when Senate candidate Mike McFadden gave his concession speech last night. He gave a campaign speech.
The name of the man who beat him never came up. There was no call for unity. McFadden sounded very much like a candidate who is still a candidate.
Not too many people heard what McFadden had to say. By the time he got to this point in his speech, the local TV stations had already cut away from his speech.
Unlike his opponent, Sen. Al Franken delivered a prepared speech, and gave McFadden a shout out.
McFadden has already taken himself out of a challenge to Sen. Amy Klobuchar in the future. He spent much of the last week of his campaign extolling her virtues.
