Confederate_48 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 He conceded because he cant win and when it reaches the point where you know its over the losing candidate always concedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 It's customary for the winnar to wait for the loser to concede before giving his victory speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I was trying to find a William Jennings Bryan concession speech, b/c there hasn't been a better speaker/writer to run for president since Lincoln. And I ran across an article that some may find interesting, here. (This is actually the Google cache, since the article seems to be missing from the original location, here.) Supposedly the tradition started when WJB conceded in a telegram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
