Harry Concession Speech

[7,052,770]

<Harry walks onto podium….crowd cheers>

Well guys, this has gone on long enough.  Democratic Hawk has decided not to challenge in the Supreme Court, and though I really think he should, I accept his decision and I’ll keep to my word and not challenge myself.  So today I concede the election to WMS.  I’m sure he’ll do a great job as senator.  Before my term ends, however,  I will on propose a constitutional amendment that addresses voting issues so that this controversy won’t have to happen again.
This was definitely the biggest midterm election in Atlasian history, with two senatorial giants defeated in their reelection bids.  As for me, I don’t have any plans for now, but I’m open to many possibilities.  I’ve been urged to run for the Senate in February, and I’m definitely going to consider it.
I do regret that this controversy was dragged out over a week, but I felt, and I still feel, that it was necessary.  I also regret that some Atlasians resorted to making personal attacks on me, but that’s part of the game.  It’s not new to me, and I’ll get over it.
In conclusion, I congratulate WMS on his victory and wish him well in the senate.
Thank you.

A fine decisoion Harry. Your President is proud of you.

I chose not to campaign against you this election because I felt that a guy as nice as you did not need the aggrivation this time around.

Good luck to you in the future my good Senator.

[Keystone Phil]

While we didn't necessarily agree, I must say that you always put up a good fight, Harry.

[StevenNick]

I feel your pain, Harry.

Harry, you are a real class act. Sad to see you go from the Senate. Hopefully you will stay active. You served your district well.

WMS will be an excellent Senator. I have no doubt that he will work just as hard as you did in representing his District, and in being as strong of an advocate for Southern values.

[King]

Good show, Harry.

[Colin]

Nice to see you concede. I thank you for not drawing this out even longer. Thank you Senator.

[Keystone Phil]

Nice to see you concede. I thank you for not drawing this out even longer. Thank you Senator.

Please remove your Harry sign from your signature now, Colin. We need to put this behind us now and show respect for each other.

Nice to see you concede. I thank you for not drawing this out even longer. Thank you Senator.

Please remove your Harry sign from your signature now, Colin. We need to put this behind us now and show respect for each other.

Besides, its inaccurate now.

[Sam Spade]

Thanks for the excellent speech, Harry and I wish you the best in future endeavors.

[WMS]

Thank you for your gracious concession speech, Harry. You were a worthy opponent and made the D4 race the most entertaining, wild, unpredictable race of this entire election. What fun!

And I would like to extend an olive branch to those who voted against me - I promise I will do my best to represent you all!

I will also watch your electoral reform efforts and have a few ideas of my own to add, as we can all agree the current system needs some tweaking.

I will make a victory speech tomorrow, as I have Christmas shopping to take care of now, but thanks to everyone who participated in making this Fantasy Election fun!

Not as bad as Gore, not as good as Kerry.
About average for a Democrat.

[Defarge]

You ran a great campaign Senator.  It is sad to see you leave the Senate.  Best of luck in future endeavors.
