Hats Off

For the graciousness of his concession, Kerry gets a heavy ammount of credit. No slavering Joe Lockhart last night, either. He was civil, and humble, even before Ohio was certain. Somehow, last night, the fever lifted--and if the finality of the election has somehow restored Joseph Lockhart to decency, that bodes well.

Good for him and good for Kerry and good for us, as if it needs saying, that they steered away from coup.

Were they ever serious about it? Just how crazy did they go in this fight?

Later I hope to have a response from ring-master Terry McAuliffe. I don't want to call sanity to soon.
