I don't understand what the big deal is. He lost fair and square. It's not like he's handing it over to Bush in good sportsmanship. Kerry lost, Bush won. Nothing special or honorable happened here.

And also, I have a hard time seeing how to use the word "call" possessively.

He didn't hire the lawyers to sue sue sue and he didn't whine. Gore also lost (well, we won't go there) and he drew it out longer and longer. It seems that Kerry might be positioning himself for a run in 2008.

Yeah, you're right, don't go there, because Gore didn't lose.

Had the votes in Florida been counted with any semblance of accuracy, we wouldn't even be talking about Kerry conceding

I dont think Kerry conceding makes him oh so honorable. I don't think "dragging it out" in the courts would make him dishonorable either.

If there was any reasonable expectation that he could carry Ohio, then he should have done everything in his power to make sure all the votes were counted. All you republicans know Bush would if he were in Kerry's position

Not true, this had determined the fate of the country, but don't get me wrong, Kerry did put up a good fight, but this was a big election, especially for the country's current status. Even though Bush won, Kerry should be recognized for his attempt.
