With the concessions today of Senator Conrad Burns in Montana and Senator George Allen in Virginia, a race where he could have demanded a state funded recount based on the narrow victory for Webb of 7200 votes.
Both Burns and Allen did the gentlemanly thing and conceded. Again, an example to Democrats that will be entirely wasted on the crowd that promoted Gore's long drawn out challenge in 2000 and Kerry's whining about the loss of Ohio by 60,000 votes in 2004.
Neither Burns or Allen flooded their respective states with teams of lawyers and angry acccusations of vote fraud and voting irregularities.
It's worth repeating again the message from this post yesterday describing how Democrats were leveling multiple charges of vote irregularities up to the minute their victory was clear. Then silence.
Contrast Burns and Allen's conduct with that of many of the Democrats who have commented on GOP blogs lately and give new meaning to the term "sore winners."
Again, Republicans take the high road and Democrats seem content with the gutter.
