[caitycaity]

well, he's doing the right thing. i'm proud of him.

 

[TXTink]

True, it is the statesmen thing to do....good for Kerry, it was a good race.

 

[TwinMom7]

I agree. Just so glad we don't have to go through what we went through 4 years ago.

I respect him for not putting the country through that again.

 

[bsnyder]

I'm relieved, and give kudos to Senator Kerry.

 

[Minnesota!]

Props to Kerry for not being a sore loser. I respect him for that...

It was a good (LONG, however) race....

See you in 08!

I'm glad we don't have go for days/weeks waiting. Very sad Kerry didn't win, but what can you do?

My fantasy: that one day in the future when there's a presidential election that's close like this one and in 2000, that whoever wins actually says that since almost half the country voted for his opponent, maybe his opponent had some good ideas and that he (the winner) will meet with his opponent and see if maybe some of his opponent's ideas might be doable.

Wasn't that a nice dream? - Ok, I'll wake up now.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

May this be the first step in the healing of the division in our great country.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

I think Kerry is doing the right thing. He will be respected for it from all sides.

 

[babar]

I'm proud, but even sadder that he's not our President.

[Geoff_M]

I'll grant Kerry the grace of not dragging it out all over again.

 

[sha_lyn]

He has gained my respect today.

 

[swilphil]

Kerry is showing what a class act he is by not dragging this into the courts and waiting on those provisional ballots. He had the right to wait until all the votes are counted, but he is doing what is best for the country.

I agree with Babar. It makes me even more sad that he isn't president. He will speak at 1 p.m. ET.

 

[MelessaG]

I have respected him throughout this campaign and I'm not at all surprised by his statesmanly conduct today. He's a good man.
