Chicago Tribune calls for Gore to concede.

After the supreme court rules the papers will be filled with people calling for gore to concede. I really doubt he will though, I think he will fight all the way til Jan 20!
Sure, but the national enquirer would probably be more effective, since they deal in scandal. Oh, according to them, he already has. Yeah, that's the ticket! 
Right!
Right!
If he had conceded gracefully Sunday night and withdrawn the lawsuits (regardless of Republican lawsuits, I say in anticipation), he might have salvaged some political future. He has absolutely none at this point.
Nope, while I might have voted for a graceful loser in the future, I will NEVER vote for a piss poor loser like Gore. As it stands now, even if Gore did somehow fight his way into the oval office whining and crying...who among us would respect him?
It's sad really, I hear that Gore is also causing Gephardt a lot of pain in Missouri and he's a big "front man" for Gore....I don't look for this to go on much longer as it seems support is drying up very quickly. His only repreve now may be if he somehow manages to talk FL into another recount. I'd think that would be very hard though.....they'd have to in essence say the verdict handed down last week was wrong! I don't know boys, that guy on TV last night & the speech he made today seem to indicate an arrogant man who actually can not see anything short of a victory at this point regardless of the costs to him, or our nation!
In no way shape or form shoud Al Gore give up at this point or ever. First of all for those of you who do not understand why he is stiill fighting,I will explain. His campaign spent 130million dollars on this campaign, as opposed to GW's 180million. Now would you concede if you knew you won the popular vote,knew you won the majority of votes in Florida when all votes are tallied ,and you see it come down to a couple hundred votes in your opponents favor when you knew those numbers were incomplete and incorect? I think not. You would fight until you had exhausted every availiable recource availiable to you. If you did not you would be foolish with so much time and money invested,especially when armed with the knowledge that you won.
Bush also knows Gore won but is praying on technicallities to pull out a win. Not to mention that i'm sure Gore as many people i'm sure,suspect that there is some sort of conspiracy that can not yet be proven. Laugh if you like but look at the facts. (1)Secratary of State Harris hands the election to bush as soon as lawfully possible and before all votes arte counted.(2)Jeb Bush,even though he recuses himself after the election,had ample time, access and capability to fix this election without being immediately found out.and(3)There are so many inconsistancies in the vote, specifically in democratic counties,that it screams and demands to be investigated. Just the fact that the way the candidates were listed on the ballot clearly gives Bush an unfair,unfavorable and ILLIGAL advantage,as he was listed at the top and Gores name was listed 3rd. Not to mention the ballots that were illigally numbered by republicans,therefore validateing them without giving democrats the same opportunity in that county.
Now lets talk about the military ballots. Ah,the military ballots. They were not postmarked at the begining,therefore invalidating them and making them illigal ,even though they decided to illigally count some of them. I feel very badly that a percentage of those ballots were military and were invalidated,but they were illigal,just as the democratic ones that were also invalidated but were neglected to be brought up due to republican spin.
Now those of you who would like to call me biased and partisan because I am a democrat,I voted democrat this election,but for the last two before it I voted independently and would have voted for Perot again if I could have .
If anyone wanted the real winner to be known,they would either favor a revote,which is highly unlikely,or a recount of all votes that can be read and a revote for those that can not be read. We all act like they can't call all the undervote and unreadable ballot casters back,but they know who they are,and they could get the truth,but you republicans want to make things difficult because you know who really won. You just keep on calling voters who screwed up by no fault of their own stupid,incompetant and useless,but you just will not take into account the fact that chads get backed up in the machine and cause undervoting. Especially on the area of the ballot where the most votes are cast. Notice how Bush got no where near as many undervotes. Its statistically amazing. Lets ignore the facts and claim our guy won.
I hope they crucify Bush if they find out he somehow rigged this election,as he probably tried to UNSUCCESSFULLY do.

APE................you are to opinionated! Both men are poor choices but everyone has their opinion. For each and every "Gore Point" you just spewed there is an even and equal "Bush Point"! Fact of the matter is, Gore DOES have a very hard road ahead if he continues much longer. He is losing support very quickly, and the "speech" seems to have fueled that. A very real possibility whether you choose to acceppt it or not, is that his own party will soon call for him to concede. CNN just ran something a little while ago saying that many states Senators & Reps. lines are jamed with people. Media of all types are distancing themselves now, I'm just saying, step back, cool off, and take a more calm approach. The way you're coming across all you'll do is draw flame.
You know, you apparently have no concept of the word PROOF. Not surprising. Nor is the appalling lack of factual basis for the statements above. It looks as if Daley wrote that.
If anyone tried to rig an election, it was the Democrats in St. Louis, and there's fairly incontrovertible proof that something was VERY wrong there. The Dems are grasping at straws, and it's apparent in that post.
Give it up -- Gore lost.
Gore lost.
Gore lost. (Is this making an impression yet?)
Gore lost. (Hmmm?)
Gore lost.
With over 60% of the people in this country of the mind that Gore should concede, any last minute win in the court system will cause a tremendous uproar and will likely mean a strongly Republican House and Senate in two years. The fallout from a court decreed (whether actual or de facto) election would be enormous. Bush can pull out a decent Presidency from this mess -- Gore cannot.

I realize I am a little hot under the collar and will likely draw many flames. I just can't understand how so many people,party aside,can't understand why he is still fighting. He truly believes he won. And so do I. I'll just be an observer from now on.
ToBeMe...I disagree with you... apegoron is just whacked out...
Call the undervoters back.. LMAO ROTFPIMP
I now need a new goron rating system.... Ape has just knocked the bottom floor out !!!

Maybe Bush will show some compassion and appoint Al Gore as a diplomat to Chad.
I know, it's already been posted before that Harris would get that position, but I think it is more fitting for Gore to get it now.

Ape, do you right Gore's speeches, or just believe everything he says. I bet Daley is just as corrupt in promoting the Gore campaign.
We seem to lose sight that they are BOTH politicians, and neither campaign has been on the up and up.
I have to say though, that you staunch supporters sound more and more ignorant everyday. Open your eyes and look at what a travesty this whole election has been. Don't you realize, America conceded. The politicians that we so happily pay have won again.
If I had a brick, I'd smash the state.

The sad fact is Gore may win on a technicality. There are 15,000 votes they are suing over which 10,000 belonged to Bush. The republicans were allowed to make a minor change on some of the absentee forms although not illegal because they ask to do it. The democrats did not ask and did make any changes to there's so they are trying to get all 15,000 votes thrown out which would give Gore the victory by 4,500 votes.
I tell you bad things just seem to be dogging the Republicans !

^Never happen^ and....I have to ask because it begs this question.......What happened to "Count ALL The Votes?"
jacobnero6918,
The Seminole County suit is a loser for Goreby. Don't believe all the liberal blather on that one. All of Gore's lawsuits are losers, and will begin dropping one by one, until he is standing alone and legally naked.
The echo of his final cries will die in the ill wind of hatred he has engendered by his actions.

So tell us, Russ,
what did you think of Bush's speech Sunday night?

heh, everyone loves cnn's poll when its favorable to them. Cnn has been the worst at everything else during this election, they were the first to trip up on election night. Other polls don't match, one i've seen has 80% demos back al's fight, while only 20% repubs do obviously.
If the situation were reversed, bush would do the same, and possibly worse. He's just started to show his arrogance and the lack graciousness during his last speech was disturbing.
