Alright, so I found this article just now, I don't think it's been posted. It says a lot of stuff the other articles have said, but there was this one part that I just really loved

The level of support in the "Idol" community was clear on Tuesday night, when 12 million more votes were cast for Cook than for Archuleta. "I attribute the finale vote … to my fans just being awesome," Cook stated simply. Still, Cook doesn't want the public to read too much into that number. "I think that number is actually really misleading," he mused, in yet another shout-out to formidable opponent Archuleta. "I was just honored to share the stage with him."

I really loved that quote Here's a link to the full article if you want to read it:
