...the threads from election night 2004.  And they made me mad.

The Republicans started piling on at 2:30 for Kerry not yet conceding the election...why?  They brought out their hate America tagline again. 

Kerry of course conceded at about 11am, and they shut up.

I guess they chose to get mad, because it made them look better in same way.

Any thoughts on this matter.

I don't understand the concept of conceding an election. If you lose in such a way that it's undisputed (like every presidential election of the past century except 1948, 1960 and 2000), just don't do anything.

Why call the opposition at all?

To be courteous?

After all the smearing of each other that they do?

The real reason is to save face in the public eye.  He'd be perceived as a 'sore loser' and hated for the rest of history.  They don't care about being courteous, just that they want to look good.
