A question from the desperately cynical....
...any chance that at 3 PM, Allen will call for a recount in a "gotcha" moment?

1. I will be VERY surprised if he concedes
I hope he does, but I doubt he will.

I hope I'm wrong.

4. The gotcha moment...
...would be on everybody, including the anonymous staffers who said he would concede, and the headline-writers at Fox News.

But NPR still remains on the fence.

1) he can't until it's certified (11/27).

2) he is almost 9000 down now - will get worse with time

3) he will kill his chances of ever running in VA again

3. On the other hand...
there is speculation that the GOP is pressuring him to concede so that there will not be close examination of the voting machines. There is also that pesky FBI investigation into voter suppression.
