Senator obama and i have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed. Those same things you hear throughout we have fought the good fight. We fought hard, weve come to an end, we accept this result, we will work together. And once this decision is made, we unite behind the man who gets elected. Reporter but not every Election Night has a concession speech. Bulletin, senior gore aide confirms gore withdraws concession. Thats bulletin material with a capital b.
