WaPost: Allen to concede
Allen to Concede Election This Afternoon

Virginia Sen. George Allen (R) will concede that he has lost the election to Democrat James Webb at a 3 p.m. news conference in Alexandria, according to a source close to the campaign with direct knowledge of the senator's intentions.

As of this morning, Allen trails Webb by 7,484 votes after a bruising reelection campaign. Republican sources said Allen had concluded that no amount of recounting would change the outcome, but members of the senator's campaign staff would not publicly confirm his intentions.

1. Why is he making such a big deal about this?

2. So... it takes Allen's 3 brain cells this long to figure it out?
Goodnight, Nurse!

3. how sweet to read the words...
"A concession would spare the country from a recount that could have left control of the U.S. Senate in limbo for weeks."

about GOP losses rather than GOP thefts of Democratic wins.
