Keeping it going
John Hillen has an interesting take in The Corner:
I can see this being a strategy, but not not a good strategy. Look what it's done for them so far. The era of McAuliffe and Daschle is over. For the sake of the country and the Democratic party, I think the message will be sent to acknowledge defeat sooner rather than later, change the "sore loser" message we've heard from Al Gore and MoveOn for four years, and start a fresh message (whatever that may be) with 2008 in mind.
A failure to concede by this morning can only mean the Dems, lacking anything to rally around for the next four years, want to keep the victim-magic going and will hang on long enough to create the auro[sic] of “another stolen election” for their base.
