In 2000, people finally embraced Al Gore when he (belatedly) accepted the inevitable and gave a gracious concession speech. Since that time, he has reverted to form and become a cartoon character. A radio show guy I listen to called him a "combination of Orel Roberts and Chucky." Love that.
John Kerry now has the choice of who he wants to be. Does he want to be the gracious Al Gore, or does he want to be Chucky? He can concede today and people will applaud him for it. Or he can prolong this thing, and people will view him as a guy who thinks that HE is more important than the good of the country.
Your choice, Jean-Francois.
UPDATE: Kerry will concede at 1 p.m. Eastern today. I congratulate him and thank him for this wise and magnanimous decision. Thank you, Senator, for not putting this country through what Gore did. I mean that in all sincerity.
