George W. Bush respectfully accepted election to another presidential term on Wednesday afternoon, though it was clear to all but John F. Kerry that his victory was in hand late Tuesday evening. President Bush graciously waited for his opponent to concede, though there was little that was gracious about their comments during that interim or in their admission of defeat.

Kerry huddled with his legal hordes for 12 hours, discussing a possible reprise of Albert Gore's cynical charade of Campaign 2000. (As you'll recall, Gore was attempting to make good on some advice from Old Joe Stalin: "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.") But by high noon on Wednesday, Kerry's klatch determined that with devastating losses in the House and Senate, with nationwide losses in down-ballot races, and with a loss in the popular vote of some 3.5 million, any attempt at reviving Gore's sham would be rightly seen as beneath contempt.

Both the Kerry-Edwards concession and the President's subsequent acceptance revealed a great deal about these men and their respective campaigns.
