Pat encouraged Kerry to delay conceding????? I am glad if Pat Buchanan apologized for not cutting off ODonell's mike, but I am also glad that he didn't so that everyone could see the maniacal nature of the opposition. I admire O'Neil more than I can express. He had a legitimate issue that was heartfelt for him. It had nothing to do with politics other than his and the other vets inability to sit by and allow this country to elect someone, during a time of war, who had coldly and deliberately done so much damage to our vets.
Pat encouraged Kerry to delay conceding?????
He didn't do that. Bush had 26? electoral votes and he needed one more state. He said Kerry couldn't concede if he wasn't sure he lost yet. But, that he better concede if he indeed, had lost. Meanwhile the Ohio ballot details were still being flushed out and nobody really knew yet that it was impossible for Kerry to win. He said that Bush should come out and declare victory if he got one more state, but shouldn't before, at the risk of looking foolish. It appears that Buchanan was exactly right. Since Kerry conceded as soon as he knew he couldn;t win and the President waited to let him concede.
