This is how a concession speech SHOULD be
Edited on Tue Aug-08-06 11:28 PM by Hippo_Tron
"I spent a lifetime in Democratic politics, and I spent that lifetime in Democratic politics playing by the rules.... And I said in this primary campaign that I would support the winner, that I would endorse the winner, and that I would vote for the winner.... I accept that result just as fully as I accepted 29 good results for Alan Dixon in the past."

- Senator Alan Dixon conceding in the Illinois Democratic Primary for US Senate in 1992

1. Yes! Just not in the cards for this bozo. He doesn't want to give
up the perks. He could give a fuck about the party or the voters. He's showing his true colors and turning me green.

2. It certainly is hard for repukes to concede defeat, isn't it?!
Even when they call themselves Democrats...
