The pundits are afire with comparisons to the 2000 election. However, when Gore sent in the lawyers there was one difference: he had one the popular vote. If we wake up tomorrow and Bush leads by over 100,000 votes in Ohio, is leading in the popular vote, and Kerry does not concede, it will only serve to further tear this country apart.
I know the Republicans here have not raised the champagne glass in celebration of victory over Kerry. They also hope that in turn Kerry can show enough respect to do the right thing, report for duty, and if then numbers do not change, concede.
