CNN, USA Today, and Fox News are reporting that Kerry has officially conceded. I am not a Kerry supporter, but I sympathized with him for wanting to wait until it was mathematically impossible, after counting every single vote -- I mean, the man spent $100M on Ohio!! That's quite an investment.

Now he comes out and recognizes that, for the good of the country, it is better to concede as an honorable man, to save the embarassment to the nation of squabbling over individual legal issues and agonizing over every hanging chad. For this concession, I confess my respect.
