...especially with that nic. :)

I agree with you. He would've been butchered so badly by the Republicans - and the media would've chimed right in - that it would've made the Sore Loserman label they pinned on Gore look like a corsage.

I once strongly believed that his early concession was a strategy so that he could fight below the radar. That's still a possibility, though the constant "he just didn't think he could win" mantra is starting to make some headway. Either way, whether he intentionally vamoosed out of the spotlight for a good reason or skulked out, if Ohio turns out to prove that there was enough vote manipulation and voter suppression to make it a major public scandal, he can still swoop back in and make a stand. That option has not been removed, no matter how many people think he turned tail and ran.

Truth is, we'll never know what he was really thinking unless he says so, and he hasn't.
