Kerry Concedes

Senator Kerry decided to concede I think mostly beacuse Bush got a clear popular vote majority. Even though the provisional ballots in Ohio would probably not be enough to overcome the lead, they will be counted. What will probably not happen officially is an examination of the ballot spoilage, although some media coalition may do that on their own later, as was done in Florida last time, though that one became last page news after 9/11. Kerry made a good concession speech, though not stirring. Unlike Gore, who had no job after his 2000 defeat, Kerry is still a US Senator and will be a major player in the minority party.
