Brandon Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Nice move, I wonder if he's going against his advisors on this one. I suspect he is. Good Job John. 99378[/snapback] He probably is. In any event, he's doing the right thing and for my part, he's earned a bit my respect.
Bill from NYC Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 FOX News reports that he has called the President and conceded. Yes, this is a classy move.

stuckincincy Posted November 3, 2004 Author Posted November 3, 2004 Newsflash: Marv Levy to call Bills Parcells to concede SBXXV... 99412[/snapback] It's the wide right thing to do.
Brandon Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Lets not go too far overboard... In reality he has very limited options here... That being said... ATTABOY JOHN! 99404[/snapback] True, but he also could have dragged this out several days and waited for all of the provisional and absentee ballots to be counted. Instead, he saw the writing on the wall and put an end to it.

Even the libs on this board haven't suggested a useless prolonged fight..

MichFan Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Classy move by John Kerry. In the end, I feel a little sorry for him. The John Kerry I saw in the late 1990's always impressed me as a man who might be the Dem candidate. When it came to fruition he was a mere shadow of that man I saw. Howard Dean and the Deaniacs forced Kerry into taking positions that were inconsistent with his past and some that I don't even think he believed in -- then they didn't show up and vote for him in large enough numbers (based on youth vote returns). The Micheal Moore wing of the Dem party forced him to take criticisms of Bush too far in the minds of the middle and helped energize Repubs. The Clinton holdovers forced him to pull foolish stunts to be a man of the people (e.g., hunting, windsurfing, Bon Jovi, Bruce). The Shrum wing led him into the "reporting for duty" speech and opened him up to the attacks from the Swifties. The Gore-was-robbed crew demanded anger at and disrespect for Bush. Terayyza couldn't keep her mouth shut. Edwards was AWOL. If the Dems want to point blame at anyone, each one of them needs simply to look in the mirror. Every criticism that can be launched at Kerry is a reflection from within a bitter and fragmented party. Kerry's failure is that in the end he did not have the leadership to unite the fragments behind him rather than against Bush. As such it is a good thing he is not President at this point in history. By conceding in such a classy way, Kerry has finally provided leadership in setting a new tone for the Dem party going forward.

Mark VI Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Perhaps Carville committed suicide or got the Arkansas State Trooper treatment? 99359[/snapback] Actually, Carville has been fairly civil towards Bush . That other anayst on CNN, Paul Begala probably was beside himself this morning. He was unrelenting in his negativity towards Bush. He was completely convinced the exit polls were dead on and was joyfully declaring a Kerry win for days.
sweet baboo Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Classy move by John Kerry. In the end, I feel a little sorry for him. 99521[/snapback] i felt a twinge of sorrow for a moment...then i remembered how much money he has though he does have to sleep with teresa heinz for it

Begala's a twit.
