He what?
I’m amazed. I’m at a loss.
One of Kerry’s oft-quoted lines was “Every vote will count.” He had Edwards make a speech promising that every vote would be counted before the election was over. He said “We will fight for every vote. You deserve no less.” All night long, I insisted to my co-workers that the outcome of the election wasn’t final. It wasn’t definite. The margin of error still existed. We couldn’t know who the real winner was until all the votes had been counted.
This just floors me. I don’t understand why Kerry conceded the election. He’s currently off by two electoral votes, and although it looks like Bush would win Ohio’s 20 electoral votes there’s still a chance that other states which have only been *predicted* to go to Bush will turn out the other way. We don’t know for certain yet.
Damn.
