The canvass in Virginia is supposed to be finished by the 14th (next Tuesday). The votes will be declared official by the Commonwealth on the fourth Monday of the month (the 27th), and it's after that point that Allen can request a recount.
I would guess that he'd concede if the canvass doesn't turn up any serious irregularities...7400 votes is a pretty big chunk to make up on a recount.

And that's just for starters.
Last thing I appreciate is a bunch of jerks in the White House telling me that I will have to get "constituent services" from a guy who writes cockbooks for a living.
Gad!
Can these people take their pro-pedophilic feelings and just leave.
What possible benefit would it be for the GOP for Allen to concede?
That is the THE biggest difference between dhimmicrats and the GOP. The dhimmicrats will FIGHT for what they believe in (as wrong and misguided and ridiculous it may be), while the GOP caves at the slightest little whimper from the WaPO and NYSlimes.
He should hang tough. There are probably thousands of absentee military ballots remaining that need counting. Concedeing means nothing. Only when the election is certified in a few weeks will it mean anything. Caving into liberals is what cost them control, and now they are doing it again.
What are we,FRENCH surrender monkees???? Dont give up the ship George !!!!!!!!!!
Why? Let the Dems stew in it
Are these the same top Republicans that just delivered the House, Senate and a number of State houses to the Dems?
Yeah, I'm sure Allen is waiting for their advice.
Shut the hell up folks. Allen and his home state can handle this, thank you very much.
Since the Senate is so close, WHY arent we insisting on sharing committee Chairmanships and and equal number of Majority/minority members like the Donks did in 2002?????
Do REPS have no SPINE????????????
Who is going to remember or care if Allen takes another week or two to get a recount or whatever? What wussies republicans are. I guarantee democrats are lying to other republicans telling them things would "go smoother" if Allen concedes. So hey why bother to see if we can keep control of the Senate.
No surprise here
Yeah, what's the rush? Turnabout is fair play.
At least they could wait to see if the original count was correct. Sheesh. What's the rush?
After last nights debacle I'd be reticent to take advice from the White House if I were George Allen.
And one more thing. I've had it with the denutted republicans and their penchant for bending over every time the MSM says boo.
The only sane reason to apply any pressure for him to concede would either be for some vague high ground, which is utter nonsense; or, to insure that the democrats hold both houses of congress just prior to a major disaster.
So what might be about to happen?
1) War with Iran.
2) China's currency manipulation causes a massive international economic tsunami.
3) The collapse of the housing market precipitates a major economic downturn in the US.
4) Unknowns x, y, and z.
After what Al Gore and John Kerry put us through during the last two Presidential elections, it is only fair that the Virginia vote be checked and re-checked, considering the stakes. Who is behind this demand that Allen concession, Ken Mehlman?
Mehlman should resign--and he would if he were a man!
Folding - the republican 'ground game'.
James Webb, this is the guy who writes the pedophile porn books or soemthing? And he is getting votes how?
