Kerry and Edwards, by rights, should not have conceded so early. Ohio may be a lost cause, but Florida wasn't. Almost 40% of the state voted absentee -- way more "open" votes than would be needed to make up the "official" Nov. 2 margin -- and those votes would HAVE to have been counted if the Democrats demanded it.

Even if the absentee votes didn't give Kerry the win, it might have tipped the Senate race to the Democrats, or maybe some Congressional races.

I wish NO candidate would officially concede till ALL the ballots were counted. The voters deserve that.
