JOHN MCCAIN'S defeat to BARACK OBAMA has been greeted with a mixture of shock .. anger and deep fear for the future by Republican die-hards .. gathered at Phoenix's Arizona Biltmore Hotel for an election night party.
The discontent was evident almost as soon as MCCAIN started addressing supporters on an outdoor lawn in front of a giant Stars and Stripes to give hisconcession speech.
Several members of the audience interrupted MCCAIN with scattered boos .. and supporters were seen weeping as the desolation of defeat set in.
Several supporters .. meanwhile .. blame the media for OBAMA'S success .. saying the press and television have given the Democrat an easy ride.
Others say they're concerned about family values .. and OBAMA'S position onabortion and gay marriage.
