Did you notice...

If you watched John McCains concession speech, as he was walking off the stage the music that was playing was the same music that played in the movie "Crimson Tide" at the end of the movie as Gene Hackman realizes he was wrong, Denzel was right, and hands over the "conning tower" to him. Not sure that the McCain campaign intended that, but it was poetic.

Gene Hackman...the old dog, who had served his country well, but was trained to "push a button" and see all situations as black/white, good/evil, yes/no. This training served him and the country well until the world got a little more complex than simple binary answers and responses. He reacted with anger, fear, and desperation.

Denzel...the new dog, inexperienced but loves his country, trained to think, consider, reflect, and respond to a world whose situations are complex, multi-faceted, and nuanced. He reacted with restraint, respect, determination and resolve.

Both men are good, have good intentions, but one was suited for a season that had passed, the other suited for the future.

Oh yea... one more...the "old dog' was white; the "new dog" was black.
