Edwards: “This fight has just begun.”

Lead Edwards quote; an excerpt from the democratic concession speech.

It has been a long day. Once I had committed to stay up till I saw John Kerry’s concession speech, things slowed down. Thankfully, last week we got CNN in the house. Unfortunately, it’s all we have. So many strait hours of CNN’s version of “non-partisan” commentary is about to kill me. I just finished classes for the day and heard that Kerry was about to give his concession speech, so I came down once more, thankful that I’m getting close to bed. Of course, it was pushed back another hour and I got stuck watching CNN commentary again. And what do you do first after a winner is declared in a US election? Why, ask the French what they think of course! [as I roll my eyes] I know this is going to shock you, but 75 percent of the French supported Kerry, the other 25 percent wanted to know why we couldn’t just elect Chirac. I called it about 14 hours ago. Kerry called it three hours ago. CNN still refuses to call it. Bush wins, and I’m proud to have voted in this monumental election. Praise God. I’ll leave you with this… “It’s been a long night, and a long morning, and even though it won’t change the outcome, we will continue to fight for every vote.” -John Edwards
