Kerry was noble??? No way. He's defeated and had NO choice. His party told him to stop embarassing them and concede. He is not noble....never was.

You are exactly right.

I think if we are gracious we can convert a few of their moderates who want to join the winning team. Not to mention that we are all Americans.

Gracious? According the to NRO Corner, he lectured the President. I have little doubt that he is going to show himself to be as self righteous as ever when he speaks at 1:00

I'm trying to figure out if that's a joke...specifically the word "noble". I mean..my gut instinct tells me that it's a joke. But, I somehow get the feeling that you're not joking?

He hasn't given the concession yet.

And Kerry isn't the biggest loser of this election. Don't forget MoveOn.org, Soros, Moore, Hollywood, the MSM, Zogby, et al. They have much yet to pay for.

I plan to be gratious, but it's going to be difficult. Living in the belly of the beast (Sonoma County, CA), I've been taken a lot of crap from these idiots.

Kerry wasn't noble. The Dems know that is would be dangerous to persue this route right now, and if they failed it would ruin any hope of Hillary successfully winning in '08. This is more to save face for the Democratic Party than John Kerry.

How do you know he was noble?

He hasn't made it yet.

And try to REMEMBER all the lies this man told about George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and Mary Cheney.

NO MAS!

It depends on the audience.

The pro-abortion supporters of Kerry deserve nothing except a continuous beating. We should kick them while they're down. The war is ongoing and they haven't yet been destroyed.

We must not gloat and upset people about winning. We have GOT to figure out how to reach these people. That is the next mission I think. We have to save our fellow Americans from liberalism.
Congratulations to ALL. This is a great victory for us and AMERICA!!! Boy it was hard work too!

Maybe tomorrow, not today. Today I will gloat with my friends, just for the fact of all the terrible things that have been said and done to that fine man, our President.

Kerry should have conceded last night.

You mean the way they were gracious to George Bush after all the recounts in Florida?

You mean the way they were gracious to George Bush after 9-11?

You mean the way they were gracious to George Bush with the DUI report 5 days before the election?

You mean the way they were gracious to George Bush and his service in the Air National Guard?

You mean the way they were gracious to George Bush when he compromised on Campaign Finance, No Child Left Behind, etc?

Yeah, we can be bigger men and we will be gracious, but we will never forget.

No, he wasn't. He is saving his face from ridicule.
He lost Ohio in absentee ballot count with military still to go.
I will be gracious to those Dems who aren't threatening to destroy my country, but I refuse to acknowledge Kerry dropping out of a race he had no business prolonging - he was hoping the riots would commence in the streets and they didn't.

I'm gloating and humming James Brown tunes ("Wow! I feel good!") to myself.

I'm going to be polite, but pleased, to my pinko commie liberal bleeding heart friends and family. I'll offer to help them make arrangements to emigrate.

We are better than them. We needn't sink to their level of crassness.

NEWS FLASH: For the first time in his 20+ years in politics, John Kerry places the needs of the nation above his own ambitions! (and we thought that pigs would NEVER fly)

Gracious? I don’t think so. We did that four years ago and suffered back stabbing and lies from the Democrats. The best thing that could happen to lift the USA would be to destroy the Democrat party, using RICO, as a criminal enterprise. Then split the Republican party into two parts, social liberals and social conservatives and Move On from there.

You're right. We should be gracious. I don't agree that Kerry's noble but he could have made this alot more difficult if he had a mind to.

Be sure to pay attn to Couric, and her strained and anguished face. It adds to the gloat meter.

I think graciousness is a good thing. My more mischievous side, though, is wondering if perhaps anyone who is a troll on the liberal sites might start providing the other users of the liberal sites the links they need to emigrate to Canada (or somewhere) and renounce their US citizenship? It would be a good thing for the Democrats to become a more responsible (and yes, therefore more competitive) party, and that can't happen as long as the moon bat Deaniacs are around. They want national health insurance, fine, here's your ticket to Ontario.

Yea. Let's celebrate and party with class.

Several major battles have been won but there are more ahead. I want to see the Rathers out and the MSM "reinvented". And, as a resident of the People's Socialist Republic of Illinois there is much to be done.
