9. I would be if conceding actually meant anything...
...but considering that he can take it back whenever he wants, it doesn't bother me. I think that it is actually a shrewd political move to have the 3rd parties bring up the challenges initially and have the democrats crash the party.."hmmm, there's a recount going on here?? awww heck, since we're here I guess we'll join in"...then raise bloody hell if some strong evidence is found...

By the way, I don't think that the 3rd parties just got on the recount bandwagon for nothing...true part of the reason is for publicity and to be seen as the champions of democracy...but I believe that there were also behind-the-scenes deals made to encourage them to do what the more established dem party couldn't do without a political backlash... very smart...
