He looks like he got hit with a brick. I feel for him. It's a very gracious and heartfelt concession. God bless him and I hope he continues to contribute to the Dem Party.

8. Yep...

He's a decent man running in probably one of the toughest states to be a democrat in. Don't always agree with him, but he's got my respect all the way.

17. Damn, this speech of his is pure class

Especially the anecdote about the Iraq veteran who gave him his Medal of Freedom and said he would pray for him. Very dignified and restrained.

He won in Montgomery county.
